 * Just above the locomotive, that stained-glass effect on the background is a heat distortion from smoke or something? It looks odd, so I'd like to figure out what it is before supporting. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8% of all FPs 02:02, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes, that is heat haze owing to the exhaust vent on the top of the loco. --Tagooty (talk) 03:27, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Adam, that's the exhaust haze of the locomotive's engine. These locomotives run on a diesel engine. The power generated by the diesel engine is then converted to electricity. This electricity then runs electric motors which turn the locomotive's wheels. Therefore the name "diesel-electric locomotive". There is a brief description here: and videos. In the nom photo, the front locomotive is a SD70M-2, it has a 16 cylinder diesel engine:  Bammesk (talk) 04:10, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

 * So what? Here, we're still running engines that were built in the 1960s... such as VR_Class_Dv12 - they don't look any different in older pictures. --Janke | Talk 12:47, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
