      They had either ballast or coal in them, I'm not sure.

    That locomotive was hardly struggling with that tiny train, they might want to fix the injecton issues before they cook the turbo.

      Those were loaded ballast cars, which I am not sure the particular weight, but are a lot of tonnage for just one unit.

    The fuel wasn’t burning properly so it caught fire in the turbo no harm done to the crew or locomotive just some fuel being on fire out of turbos it is very common for that to happen

    WOW, good GE chugging action!
    They better get that fixed soon, seems to me like excess oil or something is in the turbo, or there is a fueling problem (or a turbo problem lol).

      Plus SNC only had one freight like locomotive they had a BL 2 but with so few ever made y risk the chance of breaking it. Then they also have 2 passenger trains that are most likely from Amtrack so this is basically all they had to haul the coal trucks with

    Flames out of the stack on a GE is not uncommon, happens on EMDs also. Means its working wide open or close to it and has a load on it.

    • @SelkirkSubRailFilms
      @SelkirkSubRailFilms  7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes but still cool to see and especially on a railroad that very rarely runs freight.

      It's a GE locomotive, looks to be a dash-8 to me. These locos are known for smoking it up like this XD

      Pardon the late reply, but it looks to be a GE B39-8E.

      A GE not older than 30 years running worse than a 60 year old EMD.

    SNC was a "sad-sack" operation. Thankfully it folded.

  • @EdmontonRails
    @EdmontonRails 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    And CN's GP9's , some of which turn 60 this year are still running after a rebuild. It sucks that the EPA (thank god Trump is dealing with them) forced EMD to dump their 2 stroke engines, originally built for the D-day landing craft.
