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!!!

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.

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.

@melvingeloneck3344 4 жыл бұрын

I guess the only real fire danger is from 1) Brush or leaves that come too close to flames, 2) sparks flying off the engine and setting brush or leaves on fire, 3) sparks somehow setting off any oil residue on the cars immediately following. While some of that is possible, none of it is terribly likely, I imagine.

@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.

Welcome to GE locomotives. It is just a buildup in the turbo that ignites from time to time. Most old GEs do it.

@ffjsb 11 жыл бұрын

They weren't carrying any flammable liquids, as there are no placards, and you generally don't put Haz-Mat cars next to the locomotives. The tanks WILL vent gases if the temperature of the car rises to relieve pressure, and the vented gases CAN ignite. If the top of the tank is exposed to fire long enough, and the relief valve cannot vent the gases fast enough, the car WILL BLEVE. (Boiling Liquid, Expanding Vapor Explosion) There are several KZfaq videos of this happening.

Relax kids...not really on fire exactly, just working hard and igniting all the combustion residue in the collector and stack. #2 seemed to be overfueling, so it was probably pretty wet in there. Not really a problem as long as it stays confined to the stack, and goes out once the EGT drops to a normal level. Terribly inefficient though.

@renegadeoflife87 11 жыл бұрын

It's just a typical blown turbo or blown supercharger. Quantities of engine oil are getting into the hot exhaust manifold and igniting there, giving an abundance of soot and flames out the exhaust stack. If left that way it will eventually consume all the lube oil and destroy the motor, but these units have such an incredibly large oil reservoir that they often reach their destinations before the problem is even noticed.
