I nearly took off prior to this train out of boredom. If it wasn't for the static i heard on the scanner and hearing a faint horn echo I wouldn't have caught this train. Once I heard the few toots of the horns I got ready. I was certainly not expecting to see a flame thrower beeing shot out of the exhaust stack of the second GE unit. I pointed to the second unit just as the engineer gave me a few shots from the horn with a very kick ass thumbs up!!!

Not worried about the "fuel cars" behind the train, if it was fuel there would be buffer cars behind it, and none of the cars had any hazmat cards displayed so whatever oil is actually in them isn't as bad as it may first seem. However, no surprise CSX "How tomorrow moves, because today we're a little burned out."

Another American story that you wouldn't believe unless you saw it with your own eyes. Looks like the exhaust is coked up with something and the intense heat is igniting it. It doesn't help that the trailing wagons right behind it are fuel transporters either. Anyone watching, skip to about 03.09 to where the action starts, why a 3 minute introduction to the countryside?

Judging by the black smoke, I'd say the engine is starving for air,causing excessive fuel to be burned in the exhaust. This is probably caused by turbocharger failure.

Saw this happen to a GE today. Turbo failure. Our FD was called to extinguish it, but the CSX mechanic out of Jacksonville we were on the phone with said to either sit back and wait until the turbo let loose or the motor tied up from burning through all of the engine oil, or we could put foam on the intake and choke it that way. We let it fail. Lots of smoke and oil spewing out. Cool but expensive. CSX can afford the repair though I'm sure.

@Shirehorse148 I understand that about purging but most of the time when you take a loaded hazardous car to a customer. Say it has a "Flammable 3" placard. It will not be purged and cleaned. It will be picked up by the railroad and logged as an empty but still have the placard cause it still has residue. They will not always have permanent markings on the side of the tank. Just the placard signs on each side and the ends of the car. It could still be purged and cleaned in the future.
