On a train somewhere in Europe
It was rather hellfire though not exactly environmentally friendly

Apparently they don't usually clag that much, the driver was a crank and was quite happy to play to the gallery :D

From a quick browse around Youtube, Russias' diesel locos seem to be absolutely abysmal for meeting environmental standards, though absolutely awesome for hellfire clag at the same time! It seems to be the 3TE10 type locos that are the main culprits.

For instance, I would absolutely hate to be stuck in the rear cab of the loco on the rear of this train while passing through that tunnel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enJXPVZ-omw&feature=related

And this is what happens when one of those beasts gets a bit boisterous!:lol:

Additionally, to give some credit to our home traction, 56301 recently put up one hell of a fight for the gold medal at the Swanage Railway diesel gala, and I've personally seen a couple of 56s form an opaque smokescreen across entire stations!
