Detroit Diesel Series 50 engine cold start minus 5 Celsius 1996 New Flyer D40LF 7632

Again, similar cold weather as the last time, but this time no boosting was needed.

26 years and she still sounds amazing

[@Mrcharles.]

They just don’t make em like they use too anymore.

[@zythr9999]

@@Mrcharles. In some ways that is a good thing

[@zythr9999]

and smokes just the same.

[@KATEPALSALLY]

For such cold weather, that actually started pretty good.

[@thermidorlevrai65]

-5 ain't cold

[@isfeldt34]

Glorious! The general does it again. Such a characteristic sounding engine.

[@dangelohartley5977]

The smoke coming out of the exhaust pipe is so satisfying to watch

[@markhenry659]

Same

[@Mrcharles.]

Agreed.

[@zythr9999]

Not really, one reason they were phased out.

​@@zythr9999you must be fun at parties

[@crescenttransit54studios]

Love that sound

[@isfeldt34]

Absolutely! My favorite, next to the magnificent characteristic sound of an inline 6-71.

[@joncalon7508]

At least you didn’t need to boost the thing to get it to start. Man, that was awesome to listen to!

[@jasminejohnston6393]

The sound of a DD50 starting up used to scare me so much as a kid that I would cover my ears at bus loops!

[@zythr9999]

..not the sound of it shutting off while on a route?

[@tall_dude1233]

Almost sounds like a tractor at startup!

[@midnapoonovabuslfsfan541]

When it slowly starts up it almost sounds like a very beat up Cummins ISC.

[@Canadian_Yoshi]

at the beginning it sounded like after I eat taco bell

[@dangelohartley5977]

I'm dead lol

[@thisiswhatbrianthinksadventure]

Amazing!

[@okjeffy6581]

They retired the GM new look, but kept this?
