Locomotive blowing fire and smoke

[Busdude97]

Cool vid. I like how you shot it from inside the cab.

[NoJimmyNuts]

@Busdude97 i love how you shot it with a camera

[Hanglands]

My lordz! Hellfire! etc.

[turboed06tc]

[mmmkaythen]

[hazmat440]

stuck valve

[Bus7777]

So ya keepin' the hobos warm.

[ManOfMeans]

Is that how the hobos roast their marshmallows?

[darkyoda]

Nah, that's how the railroad roasts the hobos..

Burnt exhaust valve can cause this as well, dumping excess fuel in the exhaust manifold. And if the valve melted down big time, the remains will kill the turbo.

it's typical to see a Dash-9 with burn marks on the sides, I think I've seen one SD75I with burn marks

[BNSF5608]

Go look at the roof shots of the SD75's rotting in Northtown.

Blown turbo. Usually once you hit about notch 3 the turbo fully engages and if it's not running worth a shit or in pieces you get a show.

[maz323se]

Crap, I ment to agree. If it where white smoke, injectors would be bad. Black smoke with flames, turbo is blown

[clm64]

This is when the engine had a big load on it and it in a high run it bogging so much that its not burning all the fule in the motor so it come out and goes in to the turbo were its so hot there it buns in the turbo getting the EGT's up there and thats were the black smoke comes from the fule burning inside the turbo and the turbo is doing its job by trying to boost and adding more fule to make this happen

[jtw2278]

no thats just plugged aftercoolers  typical ge garbage

[nsrailfann4life91]

If GE is garbage, then why are they outselling EMD? I'm stating facts just like you are stating opinion.

[UP5140SD70M]

@Livingchaos5623 Yep its GE I Think they cause probs all the time EMD's dont except SD50's

[cripticgatekeep]

@Livingchaos5623 If it was a blown turbo you would see oil coming out the exhaust and once the motor runs out of oil it will shut down.

[silicon212]

Now you know why they call GEs 'toasters'.

[Landaux]

lol!!

[CSXno601]

I've seen more EMD's do this than GE units. Poor maintenance is what causes it. It isn't the locomotive builders fault. Usually a blown turbo charger may cause something similar to this.
