That's steam not smoke.

>>1089871
No. Guess again.

>>1089871
actually black smoke from a steam locomotive is typical of when it's being "fed" fresh coal, if it was pure steam it'd be white or clear

An electric train comes in.

Steam clear. Water vapour white.

I would assume so, the internal workings of Diesel engines aren't my strong point but it's certainly not 100% healthy, it does make for a spectacular display however and it seems to be carrying on regardless, probably helped by the two additional Tractors

I'd rather not get cancer from freight trains passing my house. Although I love class 37s and 56s and all old british diesels I understand tech has moved on since the 60s and also that particulate pollution from diesel is deadly.

It's only white when there's no pollutants in it. However in the image that

uploaded it is clear that the water they are heating is very polluted and thus is black.

new to the game...

is that an Amtrak??

Class 37s have always been smoky but that one is particularly fucked. I see them regularly on a NR test train, topping and tailing. Generally one is always chucking out rather mucky exhaust.

Pish, poppycock and balderdash. Whilst firing the exhaust will likely be come darker primarily as the impurities of the fuel are burnt off and before the combustible elements of the fuel are hot enough to burn. The loco in the image is an oil burner which makes the situation worse. Notice the whistle or safety valve, whichever it is, the water vapour that is escaping quite clearly is white. This demonstrates the vapour/steam I'd not tainted in the steam chest but is very tainted by the fuel as it is exhausted via the chimney.
