The engineer had the engine produce that black smoke intentionally. It runs
great with hardly any smoke otherwise. The engineer is a known ALCO
afficionado and wanted to add some interest to the shots.

Franklin,
They did a nice job with the locomotive, but if they want it to
survive, they need to do something about the smoke. It looks like a
steam locomotive or an old Alco diesel. There is no way an EMD diesel
should smoke like that! The stacks should be almost clear under full
load. Black smoke would indicate a lack of sufficient air. Something
is definitely wrong in the combustion process.
