Fire Breathing Dragon @ Cassandra 4K 

Best video of the whole Damx trip! Lol. Live Action!

Our Trash 9… She’s just runnin a little rich today. 😂😮 Nice catch.

It is so fascinating to see so many people are giving their valuable time to appreciate these trains. And damn those engines have some horses.

0:46 I wish I could stay on this bridge ❤ There's nothing better than the awesome smell of unburnt diesel soot in the air 😍😍

Kentucky Fried Turbo Charger minus the 11 herbs & spices.

"What's your EGT?" "...yes..."

OH WOW! the JAW! TOOTH! are you serious! Soooonnn! that is a good one! I love it

Interesting video! Great capture! Thumbs Up Greetings from Romania Andrew

Nice thanks for sharing this...i would love to go there someday...

0:49 this is awesome.. nice coverage..

Thank you. I appreciate your interest. You made a new friend. Love from Saigon - Vietnam.

I worked years ago for a company called Engine Systems in Latham NY by the airport. Was part of motive power then Wabtec the GE took them over. Engine Systems rebuilt the turbo chargers for locomotives. This is an incredible video, great job. Looks like a turbo charger fire, not something you get to see actually happen. I only saw the aftermath. Basically I believe the seal broke and oil got into the turbo charger and caught fire. Basically looking at a total overhaul for the turbo charger. Pretty cool to see.

Ollie: "Whatta you think Elmer"? Elmer: "Taint no fire here" Ollie: "Okay, check the next door" Elmer: "Taint no fire here either, I think it just broke". Ollie "Okay, I'll call fer another enjun".

Nice video. So long containers loaded freight train being pulled by powerful locomotives. I really enjoyed this video in 4K.

Good vedio That's a beautiful train..

NS are one of mu favorite trains, but one with a fire...spectacular!! you were lucky to see live.

Freight trains never cease to amaze me, great video!

Probably had to shut down 9672 and the weight required 3 units; that would be why 2 units showed up as helpers. Nice catch; had this happen driving a bus once; turbo caught fire.

*Nice video. Thanks For Sharing. Great footage! Best regards from Vietnam. Support you!*

Holy shit. That engine chugging sound man. THIS GAVE ME CHILLS MAN. LOVE THIS CONTENT.

Nice hauling of the steam locomotives 👍👍👍👍🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

It's even more fun when it happens to your train you're on. Early spring 2019 for me. my first one.

Great camera good Optics nice and clear

Pretty cool video! Was glad to see a couple old SD40's (rebuilds) to the rescue.

Now imagine if 1) that exhaust flame and black sooty smoke were *much* worse, and 2) the resulting fiery exhaust plume was the usual for hard-worked “compression-ignition engines.”

Man this brings back memories, its been 12 years since I left U.P.R.R.. Worked for BNSF before. Miss the sound of those Dash-9s at notch 8. The EMDs not so much.

Best capture! Awesome video!

Great video thanks for sharing 😁👍💕

Nice video :D !!! In Chile, also our D-160 (G 105T / 112T) locomotives also happen the same with the turbo, although not as frequently but without failures.

See, this is what happens when you don’t give a train what he/she wants!

What a helluva length of a train though! Empties I would presume. I know the horse-shoe layout of the line maybe makes it seem much longer but that was a lot for one loco set anyway. I'd say so anyway.

Heavy diesel action....never seen so much fire for that long....greta Thunderbirg would be in grave seeing that....

That GE did the best ALCO Century impression I've seen in years. Back in the day, Conrail kept their big Centuries at Mingo Junction to handle coal and iron ore trains over the old Cleveland and Pittsburgh. It was a common sight for an exhaust flame up from the unburned fuel that built up in the exhaust system due to that turbo lag those 251s were notorious for.

I just subscribed to your channel and hello from New Hampshire

GEs are good at blowing turbos, shooting fire, making smoke, and being norfolk southerns favorite locomotive

Let the beast snort a lot of smoke & a lot of fire, the more the better it is.

He isn't working with one engine, they are both pulling but 7606 is running a little cleaner. They also did not go into emergency, they stopped on their own and kept on the throttle until the train was stretched out. 7606 is running as the train pulls away with the e's in the lead, but not poor 9672.

Second engine had a blown cylinder or stuffed valves and was dumping unburnt fuel into exhaust and it was then burning due to the heat in the system. Highly unusual for diesels to pop like that and front engine could not carry full weight by itself, cool video.

In night, fire in the peak, run run run

Wow, Awesome catch ! 👍🏻

I love them trees ..

Ein tolle Aufnahmen im Zug weiter so gut gemacht jeder hat mal Probleme mit der Glock gut gemacht eure Michi

Whoa I sounds like a breathing fire dragon!👍

😯😯😯never seen this before fire breaking train! I seen short burts of fire but not long ones

I don't know why but every country has Diesels with afterburners fitted😂 even in my country the ALCo locos (especially the WDM3A variant) have burnt their exhaust!!

Talk about a crispy critter.

Leaked footage from Fast and the Furious 10: Vin's Diesel.

That was Flamethrower was "AWESOME" I just subscribed 😎👍

Yeahhh.... EMD 2 Stroke Power to the rescue!!

Great video as always...Big like from Romania...I like IT!!!!

Que máquina incrível parabéns!!!

Now that was a little different from the usual train video!

HELLO MY DEAR FRIEND VERY GOOD EXCELLENT AND NICE VÍDEO I AM HERE THE FIRST TIME ON YOUR WONDERFUL CHANNEL. HAVE MY LIKE AND SHARE VERY GOOD THE FILMING. I AM HU IN YOU TO STSBLISHI OUR FRIENDSHIP MY BROTHER WE ARE TOGETHER STRONG HUG FROM BRAZIL

Que sorte sua em captar esse momento de fogo! O trem também um "gigante na curva gigante".

After 31 years of running GE's I don't think that was a turbo failure - a turbo going to failure on a GE is usually demonstrated by puffs of black smoke under load which sounds like the engine is coughing...power is also reduced drastically in the engine and that can cause dangerous in-train forces while ascending grades. If that turbo actually failed the engine would go into runaway mode and you would have a real display!

The only way to shift freight, great video thanks

Did somebody notice the burp at 10:10? 🤣

That G.E.blew a turbo,when you see fire coming from the stack like,that's not too bad,but when you see fire coming out of the stack on a E.M.D.,that usually means you blew a piston,that's requires the entire engine to be torn down and rebuilt.

I had that happen to a B23-7 once....it was idling for over 36 hours....it flamed up for only a minute or two...

For everyone's info, the locomotive in distress was an GE ES44-DC.

Very nice filming and narration :)

Its a steamer in disguise.

Lindas imagens, composição muito top

The first locomotive is like the guy who does nothing for a group project but attends presentation to steal the show!

QUICK!!! SOMEBODY GET THE MARSHMALLOWS!!

Blown Turbo..... seems to be an issue with those GE's. EMD's for me... much more reliable.

I caught an exploding GE going up the hill EB at Pinhook, Ind. in May 2015. A huge smoke cloud appeared to the west, around the curve, & it was about 10 minutes before the train appeared. It was the second of three units, going about 8 mph. I shot the whole train w/my giant Mamiya RB67 studio camera, cranked it, then locked onto the smoking toaster, which by then was blowing out a foot of fire. When it filled the frame, it stopped flaming, but my brain had already told my finger to push the button. Right before the mirror went up, it coughed up more fire. I looked up just in time to see a 10-foot fireball, which instantly disappeared. I knew I had it because of the 1/10-second delay between the mirror & the shutter. That unit then died, but the other two continued to slog to La Porte. When half the train got off the hill, the speed slowly increased to 12 mph.

Yeah, thats right, good old Reliable EMD Saves the Day!

Very interesting video !

Im glad the N.S. caught this in time! This is incredible sudden action very interesting and slightly amusing.. But safety always, & nobody got hurt! 😰😱☺

Awesome!

Fittingly and professional

"Puff the magic dragon live by the sea.....!"

I didn't realize trains came with afterburners

That appears to be Horseshoe Bend on the Norfolk Southern Pittsburgh Line from Pittsburgh Pennsylvania to Harrisburg Pennsylvania.

It was the turbo charger that did it on the Northfoak southern 9672

An Excellent Video. ♡ T.E.N.

Hi I'm a new subscriber to your Channel

Awesome video

0:43 when the left over fuel from Horseshoe curve kicks in at a bad moment

HA! Go figure, she's a Dash 9! Love them "Toasters"!

Them dash 9s sure do have a record for that-

Noice video the fire will heat up the engine to overheat and failure.

Insanely cool!

Belo vídeo!!!

EMD shows up and says "Hey ALCo, hold my beer"

‘Hi we’re America, our trains aren’t trains unless they can spit fire’

Really spectacular video. Thanks for sharing. Sorry to sound naive, but what causes this normally? Is it an issue for the engine?

amazing the power of train old 👍👍👍

Nice catch!

Cool 5 minutes away from me

крутое видео ,лайкос!!! помпаж турбокомпрессора .

AMAZING, LIKE,,!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

no wonder GE C44-9w,s and AC4400CW'S are called "toasters"

Very dramatic scene, hate to come across that train at level crossing :-)

VW said that there's nothing wrong with it.

Now there is a smart engineer!!once the turbo goes shut it down ASAP. The engine will start to self destruct in a very short time once the flames start.

In the depths of a northern winter, an Alco S-2, left to idle too long, could cover a yard with an acrid, choking smoke when called to work. FM's, GE's, and Alco's also sported flames shooting out of the stack as the soupy mess in the engine manifold, caused by over idling, finally burned off as the engine was called to work. ♡ T.E.N.

good video
