Great footage! The second loco is an old Alco World Series diesel. These found there way onto a number of railway properties around the world, including the New South Wales Govern ment Railways and the old South Australian Railways (albeit as different classes, with slight mods differentiating them)

Oh man - And here I thought we send our old MZ engines unto an easy retirement!
Poor old dear is having her work cut out for her - You meanies!
Good to see they are still working though, they seem to prefer hard work over sitting still. :)
If you google for this :
"Jens Raaby DSB MZ 1426"
You can see some photos of a sister train, in the old danish colors and a worn and dirty look.
