I was a conductor for the Soo/CPR some years ago and one night we pulled 50 cars of grain out of St. Paul, MN with 2, MP-15 locos when one of them lost its generator excitation. The remaining MP-15 had to do all the work and the engineer had the throttle wide open and after about 5 minutes all the traction motor started to burn up. They were smoking pretty good while we slowed down to a crawl when the other MP-15 decided to load again and we went about our chores. Oh well...
Might not have been the radiator...looked like the dynamic braking system gone haywire. By the same token it could have been a blown head gasket, too.
I'd say a Head Gasket. At the worst it may have cracked a head.

Looks like a blown head gasket, seen that smoke many times before on some of our tractors when they've blown gaskets in the past.
