Locomotives putting out that much smoke is a bit disappointing - not your fault, not criticizing the video, but engines like that need to be fixed or retired.
@@guildpilotonePersonally I’m a big fan of engines putting out that kind of smoke. These engines are in the works of being retired in the near future.
Nice video buddy

Nice action
