[awesome54331]

its not on fire ist the engine going really fast on rev 3000 or 5000 probably

[theyourmumifyer]

@awesome54331 But it is still "on fire" because there is a flame!

[awesome54331]

Personally, these are my favorite locomotives! I love them because of the sound mostly, then the horn sounds excellent! Also I love the way that the lights flash from side to side! Perfect locos!

It ain't that bad. It's just burning of exessive carbon and fuel residue in the exhaust. Quite common actually.

The driver was perhaps unaware,or was unable to switch the locomotive off yet. This would be a tricky situation on a TOTAL FIRE BAN DAY and the driver/train operator fined heavily for lighting a fire in a National Park precinct.

@ahirwan Wow yes he would be fined!! Belair national park is an icon and it would suck to have it destroyed!

@theyourmumifyer The driver would not be as it is not his fault, its the companies fault for poor maintenance. Also it would be hard to get that to happen powering through there as the crew could cut that loco out as it would not be loaded.

Very nice shot.
