Train chugging noise

Thankyou for the help

I cannot diagnose the actual problem from the internet based on your description so I can’t estimate the cost either.

It IS a safety concern. You SHOULD get it checked out by a pro.

I’d guess engine is misfiring, but could be a tire problem as well. Does the sound change when shifting to neutral & coasting?

If steering feels like it is locking up, that must be addressed asap by your shop. I expect you already know that’s a definite safety issue.
