Doing a Locomotive Load Test on an EMD SD 40-2

What's not to love about a 645 E3 prime mover in throttle run 8! An awesome smoke show as they are doing a Load Test on our EMD SD 40--2 Locomotive. Video taken after dark as I was on my way home from work. The orangish yellow light on the side of the shop building is a switch position indicator light for the switch that is located on the east side of bridge 14.
