My favourite diesel-electric engine. Love the look and the sound

Ah. The thing that goes pop in Connolly Station.
I got a train from that platform last Sunday and it no longer went pop. It was gone.
All the nice things go away.

This shares the same engine as the sd40-2 here in America

Yea that's me in the morning.

[@caffjohn]

They wouldn’t be as quick to start as the V8. Fantastic sound though😊

[@dbasq1]

Question for ye;
That tinny, metallic 'pop' you hear before these start, what is it?
Is it a cylinder decompression valve? A fuel pump priming?

[@steeviebops]

I'm not sure what it is but you hear it regularly on platform 3 at Connolly (where this was taken). I don't think it's coming from the locomotive.

[@damienbalbriggan]

@@steeviebops It's not coming from the loco. I've always heard it in Connolly. I call it the mystery pop.
