Considering how much they haul cross country they are still more economically efficient than trucking.

The part they leave out of this video is that locomotive is a former conrail GE dash 8 locomotive. These locomotives are equipped with a mechanical fuel injection system driven by a governor. These governor equipped units have a lay shaft on them to aid in start up. The guy is holding the lay shaft wide open (injectors full open) while firing up the engine, thereby creating a crap ton of smoke.... Some of the older locomotives do smoke a bit, but no where near that bad, even if you have a bad power assembly (single segment cylinder/head combo) and the newest locomotives are pretty clean and efficient especially for a 4500 horsepower 423,000 pound hunk of steel...
