Ah yup that's the traction motors that are making that sound being that they're AC. The R160s along with the new PATH cars and even the PL42AC all have AC traction motors so they sound like that when when they start up too. I kind of like it actually. Thanks for the comment!
It sounded like that loco was playing taps as it started up. Listen closely. These electric propulsion trains do make some strange noises during startup. R160 Subway cars in NYC are the strangest.
Cool catches!
