NS Locomotive Failure (Blown Gasket) With a Smoke Show Near Toledo, Ohio.

[CN413Fox]

How did it smell?

[teslapower220]

Now that's a runaway train... lol.

[kc2jga]

I have had the same thing happen to me on a semi-truck before. It left just as much smoke behind too!

[Coaster3001]

Steam Diesel

[Haze5moke]

Annnnd you got cancer

[MrKabDrivr]

So... Holy smokes? Or Holy Toledo?  :-))

[oddone1975]

i think they controll all the locos from the lead one dont they?

[phildoethedildoe]

Wow, a good blast of Smoke from that EMD engine! :) Nothing like the feel and smell of Lube Oil in the morning~! :) Great Catch.

[justinmoss101]

that is what happens when a turbo takes a shit.

[cnrails]

@justinmoss101 Usually heavy black smoke when a turbo goes. It is black because there is too much diesel and not enough air in the combustion chambers. This can lead to high EGT under a load and cause engine failure.

[spinbaba]

okay, NOW smell my finger!

[DougsTrains]

I wonder if they can shut down that number 3 loco from the front unit or do they need to stop to do it?

[MedicMatz]

What I really like, is at 1:26 where you can see they cut power from the blown loco and it loaded up the others! Note the black smoke from the lead engine. They others all probably loaded up as well to compensate, but you can't tell because of the huge cloud of oil smoke... I agree, it is pretty blue as it passes, and it sounds like you know it did ; }-~

[Haysdminis]

did you try to flag them?

[AmtrakCSXRailfan]

@Haysdminis yes i did.

[MrDesillu]

looool it's like in some movie!

[fyadcorp]

Another EMD turd

[texaslonewolf32]

* I think I can, I think I can*, ( cough, cough,cough) ah the hell with it, I;m done the other 2 can do it.......

cool video

[vwbusssesareforever]

reminds me of the good ol days. 1800's locomotives are back again. sortof,lol ;)

[MedicMatz]

Not saying the Turbo gasket didn't fail, just typically when that happens, the oil burns and produces a much "bluer" smoke.

[AmtrakCSXRailfan]

@MedicMatz it was oil though because it was all over the camereas and my grandpa's truck lol

[MedicMatz]

White smoke from a diesel engine indicates more fuel than compression and oxygen in the cylinder, most commonly caused by a fuel injector "Washing Out" (mechanically failing, allowing a flood of diesel into that cylinder. Black smoke, conversely, usually indicates a blown turbocharger. Great video of the hole going out!

[LillaKrisu]

aweome sound

[mr1000rx]

For sale One Locomotive, low k's.

[SemparoHH]

wasnt even going very fast and it still smoked your arse =p

[FEDERALSIGNALTECH]

Omg get the loco to shop!

[MrMrtiki]

Raw fuel going thru the blown cylinder .

[OneHalfEmo]

too bad to see a sd40-2 blow a turbo gasket, i hope they shut it down before the turbo became too hot and destroyed itself sending lots of little pieces of metal into the engine

[metraF40PH163]

@OneHalfEmo That's an SD70 but, they all really look the same

[OneHalfEmo]

@metraF40PH163 Oh right, thanks, whats the difference between the SD70 and the SD60 and the SD40?

[metraF40PH163]

@OneHalfEmo They are built different years & have different specs like Horsepower & traction effort

[lui459]

he blew a piston, that is oil leaking into the exhaust which creates all the white smoke

[EMDSD14R]

can anyone say (train fog machine)?...cause thts all ya see..lol...great vid!!..who says diesels ain't got steam in their blood

[dumbcup]

you were there and smelled it,, so u win usualy white smoke means anit freez if the turbo was liquid cooled that could have been it smells sweet diesel oil would have burnt black or dark blue and would have smelt horrible...

[bmwnasher]

@dumbcup Un burnt diesel would be white. You can see from the exhaust of a lorry when it starts from cold.

[est86leo]

Neat video, I haven't had it happen on one of my trains yet, wouldn't want it to lol but, I have had to move some oiled up double-stacks from a mainline set-out, to a house fuel rack to get steam cleaned, due to an engine/turbo malfunction. If I was in your position, I'd of been so pissed lol.

[YodaPala]

chooch smoke

[ma7799]

The first unit is actually a C40-9 with a standard cab. Nice video though.

[generationll]

Looks like fog rolled in.Spectacular smoke

[p42Amtrak83]

[sportcar1234567]

@AmtrakCSXRailfan i did not say that i hated it all i said were duz the malfunction come in thats all

[AmtrakCSXRailfan]

@sportcar1234567 Oh okay sorry about that... theres been alot of people making comments like that that are critisizing my video, but the malfunction is all the white smoke coming from the engine burning oil

[sportcar1234567]

@AmtrakCSXRailfan thats what i thought but i was not shore

[AmtrakCSXRailfan]

@sportcar1234567 ok i understand. Thanks for your comment!

[bmwnasher]

@AmtrakCSXRailfan Take no notice of the comments its a good video.

[CloneTrooperMatt0]

[sportcar1234567]

@CloneTrooperMatt0 thats all i speck dumb ass

[yamahonkawazuki]

[LakeRatDan]

[Surfliner6908]

LET OUT YOUR INNER STEAM LOCOMOTIVE!!!!!

[Armond5766197]

[OneHalfEmo]

Some guy rofling in the background XD

[AmtrakCSXRailfan]

@OneHalfEmo That would be me lol

[traindude390]

I hope the smoke doesnt come all over the camera while im filiming oh...

[princenoah21]

Holy shit. The guy didn't even notice? Doesn't the loco have like a warning light on the dash panel that something is wrong with one of the locos?

[OfficerNelson]

No no, it was one of those new "hybrid" steam/diesel engines! Better gas mileage!

[mlnlme1]

I know how diesel-electric trains work, but I didn't know they had turbochargers... cool! and lucky shot

[TowerClimber81]

That had to stink really bad! Great catch, and nice video! Keep 'em coming =)

[dcrails11]

Haha take that EMD XD

[wasted6666]

[dwkcamman611]

WICKED CATCH!!! NICE JOB!

[AmtrakCSXRailfan]

@dwkcamman611 Thanks!!!

[super87cole]

@AmtrakCSXRailfan what did it smell like? any differnt

[Sportbominable]

@dwkcamman611 hoooooooooonk hoooooooooooooooooooonk` train goes by (camraman:AAAAAAAAAAH i cant seeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! caugh caugh

[yamahonkawazuki]

@dwkcamman611 agreed. getting all oiled up like this. although messy, is a once in a lifetime thingbeing this close to a major malfuction

[eddieg749]

that is really amazing! Nice video!!

[AmtrakCSXRailfan]

@eddieg749 Thank you!

[pwalpar]

Good video Brennan ★★★★★

[AmtrakCSXRailfan]

@pwalpar Thanks!!!

[ajracer101]

The horn signaled the time that the tc blew at 1:15

[ajracer101]

The turbo blew due to the weight of the train and "working overtime"/ to much power being applied.

[chris64346]

why did they ever go to NS they suck the engines dont even make much sound they should bring the reading lines back norfolk southern would be eatting there dust reading lines should of never stopped nows it all crap with this new ge engine powerd stuff 2012 end of the world is going to chankge that on december 21 2012 thanks god hope it happens happy happy rail fanning

[Trifu22]

WARNING!!! EXCESSIVE CLAG!!!

[Ilovelazers]

Well theres your problem!

[RODALCO2007]

Great capture, being at the right place at the right time with video camera running.

[xoxoXoieoxox]

so what ur sugesting is i should wast my time just 4 u huu u must be english =3-

[NSNWFAN34]

what is the name of the horn?

[AmtrakCSXRailfan]

@NSNWFAN34 This horn is a variant of the Nathan K5LA

[ecoRfan]

Piece of junk. Did the crew call to report a blown engine? Anybody in the area should wear a gas mask LOL

[Supdude180]

That's an SD60 for ya.

[xoxoXoieoxox]

I see O.o the first half of the zod. what do u think my sign is?? =3-

[Rottweiller4218]

One hell of a railfanning experience I'd say.It's quite interesting as to how they look when they are puffing smoke like that.It looks just like a steam engine.Awesome video and it was really cool how you got that kind of thing on film.Amazing video!!

[TERF59PHIFAN]

uh oh he isi'nt going far after that turbo charger goes and blowes up

[cesariojpn]

Gesundheit.

[fishworldhacker]

ALSO TAKE THAT TREE HUGGERS

[fishworldhacker]

[whitingguy]

turbochargers should be illegal

[fishworldhacker]

@whitingguy shut up its more power

[whitingguy]

@fishworldhacker its more lawsuits in the making

[Railroader007]

@Batojiri1 Where do you come up with every time? I think the fact that I spent 2 years in Heavy duty diesel Mechanics school carry a state license and railroad for a living I think gives me a pretty good idea... Just saying, when was the last time you worked on an sd70?

[angusyjr]

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSMOKIN!!!!! XD

[alexgonick]

hello sir. do you know how long he continued before noticing?

[johntaheri]

[planetrob555]

Who are you to censor free speech?

[AmtrakCSXRailfan]

@planetrob555 The FCC lol no I just don't want others to come on my video, especially younger ones, and seeing all that bad stuff.

[johntaheri]

@AmtrakCSXRailfan thank you 

[planetrob555]

@AmtrakCSXRailfan OK. I'll accept that.

[whitingguy]

@AmtrakCSXRailfan please please please get a rid of the comments with the words.i hear enough at school

[xoxoXoieoxox]

@planetrob555 u see in this situation u dont have free speech much like a buiness he owns this video so he has every right to cencor ti of he wants =3- (dont bother me about my spelling i know it sux)

[AmtrakCSXRailfan]

@xoxoXoieoxox thank you very much!

[xoxoXoieoxox]

@AmtrakCSXRailfan LOL no problem i think people like that realy shouldnt exsist haha =3-

[planetrob555]

@xoxoXoieoxox Shouldn't exist?? That's very inhuman of you. Love your neighbor, and all that, right? I bet you're a christian. As far as haters, christians are the best at hating and condemning. Case in point, you saying certain people should not even be alive (exist). Very sad. Very sad, indeed.

[xoxoXoieoxox]

@planetrob555 what i mean by (souldnt exsist) is people should realy try to educate them selfs b4 opening there mouth (ignorant people shouldnt exsist) and as far as the religon thing im not cristan im not jew im not anything the best thing that i could say about that is (I dont use) lol =3-

[planetrob555]

@xoxoXoieoxox OK. I get that. You should have said it that way in the first place!

I'm not anything either, I guess the closest thing I could call myself is Atheist.

[xoxoXoieoxox]

@planetrob555 im sorry i a person of few word that is all =3-

[planetrob555]

@xoxoXoieoxox Actually, his video is public domain.

Idiot.

[xoxoXoieoxox]

@matthmatthmatth Why do u feel the need to correct people and insult them =3-

[matthmatthmatth]

@xoxoXoieoxox You're an idiot. Learn to spell, IDIOT.

Learn to read, IDIOT.

That is all, IDIOT!

[ddd3240]

@planetrob555 Keep censoring. My grandkids and I enjoy the trains and I would rather not have to put up with the foulness of some folks . There is an awful lot of ugly stuff that goes on in this world and we dont need to add to it. Its your video, you make the rules. If the potty mouths dont like it let them go elsewhere. Hang in there , thanks for the video, and thanks for taking a stand.

[AmtrakCSXRailfan]

@ddd3240 Thank you very much sir, I am glad to hear that you and your grandkids enjoy trains and the excitement that comes with them. And you are welcome! Have a Merry Christmas!

[planetrob555]

@ddd3240 Why did you send this to me? Send it to the person who posted this video, not me.

[wav5000kb]

what diesel engine isn't capable of turning a stupid electric generator?

[whitingguy]

@wav5000kb GEVO'S

[hasnachos]

@wav5000kb well thats a really big generator in the loco's. thats why they need such a huge engine.

[kbent88]

@wav5000kb Well...the more load you put on a generator, the harder it is to turn. Imagine the load on a generator when the motor is pulling a mile long train....

[broken4813]

never seen an EMD suffer a failure like that. i live next to the BNSF mainline, and i swear it seems like half of the dash 9's i see have had major turbo failures. either the whole side of the unit is burnt up or is in primer.

[Rayquaza2417]

Pest control LOL.....

[ashlandrailroad]

This is the case with a turbo, only takes a blown gasket/ seal to allow oil to seep into the induction box of the engine and become part of what is being burnt.

[ke4cpc]

That wasn't a malfunction, they were taking on a little extra revenue by fogging for pest control.

[Xantec]

shows the airflow around the train pretty well.

[redbluegreen151]

thats the funniest shit i've seen since a female kangaroo and her baby got splattered all over the railway crossing next to my house

[Trojans175]

Do you smoke? Mind if I do?

[dirtshower250]

haha were i live thats the worlds longest rail stretch awesome riding my quad beside them I AM AT LEAAS 30 YARDS AWAY!

[1959Edsel]

That is actually a stealth steam locomotive.

[skinnyshit8888]

oh dear...

[tractorboy31]

houston we have a problem

[CSXAC6000CWFAN]

Oh look Thomas...wait...thats GE.... |:(

[apriliaryan]

Some of these comments are pretty funny.. a head gasket huh. Yer expert opinion on that one? Have you ever even seen one of these diesels up close with the carbodys open, they are nothing like a normal diesel. Hell could be a broke line, power assy, all kinds a crap, you gotta trouble shoot sometimes ,not always as cut and dry as you think. (yeah i work on these not for this company though)

[AmtrakCSXRailfan]

@apriliaryan I've been in the engine room of an Amtrak P42 before actually and these engines are very unlike typical diesels. and about the funny commets I just ignore them.lol

[NSNWFAN34]

Honestly, my favorite part was the horn

[leylandcarsloverslea]

Looks kind of like blue smoke? idk maybe i'm color blind...

[AmtrakCSXRailfan]

@leylandcarsloverslea it is blueish

[swinegull]

you do know that smoke knocked 7 years out of your life

[greywolf45]

Wonder how long it took the engineer to shut down when he discovered the problem.

[weedissafer]

nice he must have been pulling that thing for miles smoking out everywhere he goes

[PierceT520]

Blew a head gasket not a turbo

[pfpdlt]

Yea a nice cold engine at full load. Engineer prob did that cause he saw you guys taping him lol

[weedissafer]

@pfpdlt ur wrong shutup it's a blown turbo

[vipmd]

I MAY NOT BELIEVE IN WHAT PEOPLE SAY BUT I WILL ALWAYS FIGHT FOR THEIR RIGHT TO SAYS IT! Good looking train. We dont have NS where i live but i make videos of CSX

[mgrande11]

It's those new "Green" locomotives, going green and killing skeeters.

[DJdoppler1]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's not suppose to do that.

[angusyjr]

woah...i never thought a train can break down like a car.

till i saw the movie planes, trains and automobiles LOL!

[YotaFan1]

shit

[SWChief34]

Awesome Video!!!

[ohiofoamer7612]

This is still one epic acthc man! I have never caught somting like this! Looks like this engine will e visiting the repair shop. lol.

[wabash373]

It is excessive fuel, the rack may not be set correctly or it is just a "smoker" or (this is taking it a little far) the governor is shot. The one GP-40 we run smokes all the time, we replaced the governor (when it went) and checked the rack.

[IndianaRails]

By any chance, would this be an old CONRAIL engine in NS paint? About 10-years ago I saw a CONRAIL unit coming out of the Big Four Yards in Avon, IN that did the same exact thing. It was like someone laid down an instant fog screen in the area and it lasted for about 1 to 2 minutes. Neat capture on your part - I didn't have a camera when I saw it.

[sunstarfire]

1:46 That musta stunk!

[Mr1970USMC]

last Diesel unit is a SD90MAC-H PHASE 2

[Flies2FLL]

One thing is for sure; there were no mosquitos around after that!

[Maurerful]

@Flies2FLL Exept for the mosquito recording this video.
