AndrzejMastalerz posted this interesting video. He did not provide much info, but I think it is safe to assume that these engines are on their way to a scrapper. The banging noise is not in time to the movement of the rods, so I think it is something hanging down and banging on the crossties.
Sounds more like possibly something like a coal-stoker driveshaft, banging inside the stoker drive somewhere, or possibly a feedwater pump drive that's partly locked-in.
Sad, that - the "Last Mile" for a couple of very old-and very weary-soldiers...
Anguish.
