Fully aware of the long and boring beginning, not editing it out.
And for the non-believer's of this kind of thing happening. Here's a few videos of what happens when a GE's engine goes.

I nearly took off prior to this train out of boredom. If it wasn't for the static i heard on the scanner and hearing a faint horn echo I wouldn't have caught this train. Once I heard the few toots of the horns I got ready. I was certainly not expecting to see a flame thrower beeing shot out of the exhaust stack of the second GE unit. I pointed to the second unit just as the engineer gave me a few shots from the horn with a very kick ass thumbs up!!!

In like the first 3 minutes. Great scenery, nice breeze, birds and insects chirping. Very peaceful!
As much as I love a good train, there's nothing like the sound of spring peepers!
2:38
Csx: Csx train is comming with fire
Clouds: imma head out
Never mind that the train is on fire, we have a schedule to keep.
Probably couldn’t see it from the cab and might have had a problem in the alert system
Lol Lmao 😅😅😅😅😅😅
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol
I could imagine a little kid seeing this at a distance and saying, "Look Daddy, a Choo-Choo!"...Only a modern-day "choo-choo" means some expensive down-time!
Wow, that's one of the more impressive GE's doing the dragon impersonation I've seen.
I was racked back watching the cloud shadows and thinking what a great screen saver this would make till that blasted train honked and woke me up! Great shot of smoke signals or fireballs, whatever at the time. Beautiful country and nice video. A-PLUS!
I build these (EMD-GE) for a living..I seen seals blow oil and when they do it makes a mess..and they make some good camp fires
***** Mmmmmmmmm sounds like a wonderful camping trip if you ask me.
Seeing as how you pretty much said you build BOTH EMD and GE engines, I don't buy it...
I hope you are with GE and not progressive.
joshmeister4449 sinking feeling he may be progessive employee.
Thanks. It is very peaceful up there. You can hear them coming up or down the line, especially when older ge's are the power. Echo's off the cliffs on both sides of the hudson. Same can be said for the GE P32's that Metro North and Amtrak use across the hudson.
P32 - or *P42?*
The latter has “motors you can feel” at idle, if you get close to one while boarding a southbound train. I learned this in May 2021.
@@dennisyoung4631 metro north and amtrak use p32 dual modes on the Hudson line. Occasionally a p42 will come down.
A burning locomotive with a ton of tankers behind it. LOL
+Garrett's Trainz Studios! kaboom..... KABOOM KABOOM KABOOM KABOOM KABOOM KABOOM
+Connor Waits ikr
Hate to disappoint, but the lack of UN placards tells me that they are empty XPPP
lol
technically it's the vapor that burns, not the liquid, no?
The intro is long, but I like hearing the Spring Peepers. Thanx for including the story behind catching this one in the description section.
Thanks. Was made long time ago before I knew any editing.
@@2005GLI still a good video. YT recommended it to me today.
@@squibrail4014 that's awesome!
Ok, so judging by all the comments, and also my lack of knowledge about trains, and how they operate, this was most likely caused by a defective turbocharger? And that is not exactly a catastrophic event?
OneWiccanHighPriest kinda, could be defective fuel injectors too.
You're welcome I used to live at at a northeast pa apt complex with csx freight trains going by all the time so yeah it's cool
Oh that Darn turbo I remember seeing this video a long time and would watch it over and over again!!
Love the sound of the spring peepers.
Love the happy toots of the horn as he rolls by... lol
vid starts at 3:00
Thx
The first 3 mins was completely boring so was the last 1 1/2 mins
Not worried about the "fuel cars" behind the train, if it was fuel there would be buffer cars behind it, and none of the cars had any hazmat cards displayed so whatever oil is actually in them isn't as bad as it may first seem. However, no surprise CSX
"How tomorrow moves, because today we're a little burned out."
This is why I like Steam engines, And a time with Strong engineering. Its sad that Steam Train Jesus died for these >.>
u said fuel cars wrong it should be tankers and its called rolling stock
Oh a railway who splits hairs because I didn't use the appropriate term, big surprise. Notice the quotations around fuel cars?
+Chappel Chastain If you are going to correct someone, at least do it correctly. They are not tankers, they are tank cars. Tankers are ships.
ok but were I come from we call them tankers and I work for csx so how about u shut up
Why 3 minutes of nothing in the beginning??? This is as bad as repeating the vid within the vid.
Did you read the description?
+PascackValleyRailfan so cool to see something !Ike that
Cool to see your a bigot
P Anon
hogy vagy a
Actually, I *like* the long take you shot...quite bucolic out there, and the slow pace reinforces that feeling (and, in fact,makes the appearance of that fiery second loco all the more startling). Good going!
I thought it was very nice spring peepers fluffy clouds a nice day yeah keep up the good work man
Thanks for the nice compliment!
I loved that the beginning was nothing but peace and quiet (and tree frogs). Then the flaming train comes rolling through . . . X-D
I think that the biggest fail here is the fact that the engineer isn't sitting up top making smores.
Sarra Smith yv
😂😂😂😂🤣
"Aaah, let it go 'til we've got these puppies unhooked at the switch yard... Then we'll pull it apart!
2:36 the train is first spotted.
3:14 the first flame can be seen.
3:55 the last time you see flames.
The beginning is kind of cool though. Sounds like CSX needs to spend some money on maintenance of their rolling stock. Lots of flat spots on the wheels, not to mention the dragon loco.
First two and a half minutes are riveting.
I've always loved the anticipation of this video. It's so peaceful and serene.
I was expecting a helper engine in the end after all that. Just one engine could tow all that? Amazeballs
Judging by the black smoke, I'd say the engine is starving for air,causing excessive fuel to be burned in the exhaust. This is probably caused by turbocharger failure.
liberty2014 damn GE no good like always
George Boyd Wow! So, the fuel failed in the locomotive?
liberty2014 Oh. I see. Not well with knowing diesels.
Blown turbo is the issue when this happens. George Boyd got it right.
The turbocharger has probody not been service correctly and has lead to the fire
Holy crap! CSX at it's best! Cool crew, crappy GE's! Awesome video and catch!
Well, what part of the engine on #7817 proved bad when they decoupled her from Train Q409-17 at the next yard? A failed exhaust-side seal on the turbosupercharger center bearing will throw flames out the exhaust but not run the engine away, unlike failed piston rings.
great catch of a GE toaster at Iona Island. 100% authentic. Nothing to worry about until the paint catches fire.
Wow great catch! i really enjoyed listening to the peepers in the beginning of the video!
beautiful countryside
Another American story that you wouldn't believe unless you saw it with your own eyes. Looks like the exhaust is coked up with something and the intense heat is igniting it. It doesn't help that the trailing wagons right behind it are fuel transporters either. Anyone watching, skip to about 03.09 to where the action starts, why a 3 minute introduction to the countryside?
Looks like major-overhaul time for 7827. Last time I saw flame like that coming off a locomotive, it was because the turbocharger cooked a bearing and blew out, as I found out later from the engineer.
I've seen locomotives on fire before and I've also heard and seen the crews tell the dispatcher that they were stopping to call the local fire department too.
More like skip to 3:00
certainly loved listening to birds for the first 3 fckn minutes. We don't have those here in Ontario!!! And the last minute watching freight cars. WOOHOO!!!. This should have been a 40 sec. clip.
This train is on FIYAHHHHH!!!.
AWESOME.This video has class. If you know what to look for.First,you got the enchanting sounds of nature. The view is spectacular. Notice, the passing clouds like God's aerial cloud train.Then, the transition from natural to man's Iron Horse. She makes her entrance with an unexpected surprise. Lovely consist and horn compliments the serentiy. Slowly, she exits into the mountains, And the unatural becaome natural again. Great Video.
I'm amazed of the quality of video! What kind of camera did you use? Thanks.
@Rodakgreen i think those tankers were empty, because i dont think they allow filled tankers directly behind those hot locomotives.
3:38
*sniff sniff* do you smell something? Or is it just me? -conducter
It's just you - train driver
HOLY SHIT - train driver
What -conducter
We're on fire -driver
Good postcard shot in the beginning though!
Looks like Pennsylvania. Any idea where it actually was?
Iona Island, NY. Its part of Bear Mt State Park.
Thank you for sharing< I think what you saw that day was a blowen trubo charger. I've seen the same thing on other videos where they said that was it. I 've even seen it while going down the highways that follow the tracks. Very cool to see. Jeffrey
CSX.... We move tomorrow because we didn't move today.
LOL i love that
Thanks! A guy at NRHS railcamp made it up!
NP
I hope your not trying to make fun of CSX, still though that's pretty good
LOL!
Train: Hey, what's up?
*points to second train*
Train: Oh no! There's fire on the train I'm carrying!
GE "We bring good things to life!"
it's nice to see US still has so much mixed freight to go by rail!
Ghost Rider's new career as a train conductor may be going less well than CSX may have hoped...
Wow, what a scenic place! Where did you film this?
@Shirehorse148
I understand that about purging but most of the time when you take a loaded hazardous car to a customer. Say it has a "Flammable 3" placard. It will not be purged and cleaned. It will be picked up by the railroad and logged as an empty but still have the placard cause it still has residue.
They will not always have permanent markings on the side of the tank. Just the placard signs on each side and the ends of the car. It could still be purged and cleaned in the future.
Just a blown turbo
THAT TRAIN IS ON FIRE!!!!! 🚂 🔥
thank you for the quick response in turning the cam
the train passes....2 seconds later the train goes kaaaaboooomm
Enjoyed the pastoral scene that opens this.
Saw this happen to a GE today. Turbo failure. Our FD was called to extinguish it, but the CSX mechanic out of Jacksonville we were on the phone with said to either sit back and wait until the turbo let loose or the motor tied up from burning through all of the engine oil, or we could put foam on the intake and choke it that way. We let it fail. Lots of smoke and oil spewing out. Cool but expensive. CSX can afford the repair though I'm sure.
Wow great catch
I have a few Train Fire videos on TH-cam
Nice frog serenade at the beginning, though...
Good ol CSX always F-ing up
It's this kind of thing that preceded the Lac-Mégantic rail disaster.
I love the no trespassing sign lol
Wasn't tresspassing where I was. Beyond the gate you are.
They weren't carrying any flammable liquids, as there are no placards, and you generally don't put Haz-Mat cars next to the locomotives. The tanks WILL vent gases if the temperature of the car rises to relieve pressure, and the vented gases CAN ignite. If the top of the tank is exposed to fire long enough, and the relief valve cannot vent the gases fast enough, the car WILL BLEVE. (Boiling Liquid, Expanding Vapor Explosion) There are several TH-cam videos of this happening.
I counted at least 40 cars with wheels flat spots, not much maintenance on those cars
Fast forward to 2:30 to get past the boring part.
Rolling coal? That's cute...
Ahhahahaha X'D
LOOOOOONG INTRODUCTION! Why such a long boring lead in? Skip to at least 2:30 for the train to come around the bend or 3:10 for the flames to appear.
Camera was clamped to a tripod 10 feet from my truck. I was standing in the bed of my f150 with my dslr. I had to get down, run to the tripod, loosen it and then pan it around.
did you try to warn the engineer that his 2nd engine was on fire?
I BET NOT THE ENGINE DRIVER DIDN;T EVEN CARE 2ND ENGINE WAS ON FIRE
+Harold Smith ya he did care trains take a mile sometimes a little more to stop
Relax kids...not really on fire exactly, just working hard and igniting all the combustion residue in the collector and stack. #2 seemed to be overfueling, so it was probably pretty wet in there. Not really a problem as long as it stays confined to the stack, and goes out once the EGT drops to a normal level. Terribly inefficient though.
PascackValleyRailfan 2:36 the light appears
LOL >.> reminds me of the old GEs and how you would see them go up in Flames all the time :P
Could have started this at the 3 minute mark. What exactly were you videoing before that, birds flying by?
Got a flame common from that stack ! blow'n smoke black as coal six day's on the road and I am gone'a make it home tonight
Where is this located!?
Iona iflsnd, ny on the Hudson River just south of bear mountain.
Gee, and I always thought only EMDs at "RUN 8" were "ON FIRE"!
It's just a typical blown turbo or blown supercharger.
Quantities of engine oil are getting into the hot exhaust manifold and igniting there, giving an abundance of soot and flames out the exhaust stack.
If left that way it will eventually consume all the lube oil and destroy the motor, but these units have such an incredibly large oil reservoir that they often reach their destinations before the problem is even noticed.
Can you trespass the property to help people in a locomotive that is on fire?
I guess the only real fire danger is from 1) Brush or leaves that come too close to flames, 2) sparks flying off the engine and setting brush or leaves on fire, 3) sparks somehow setting off any oil residue on the cars immediately following. While some of that is possible, none of it is terribly likely, I imagine.
Does the conductor know the train is on fire? How did the fire happen. Which city or state is this in? Who will put out the fire. How is the train still driving? This is crazy!
Magnifique vidéo Big likes 👍🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃
The flames on the second loco at 3:40 seem to say youre wrong- it was on fire.
Jeez, a loss of power, smoke signal and a signal fire...
I wonder if dispatch will believe the driver now...
DAM THE BLOWED TURBO'S FULL SPEED AHEAD
What good is having a two person crew if neither are going to look at their train?!
if it’s a CSX unit it’s called a mercy killing.
LoL
Our SD40's do this all the time when we pull over the hump in the yard.
Sounds like some railroad has neglected to do maintenance on the turbo...
Welcome to GE locomotives. It is just a buildup in the turbo that ignites from time to time. Most old GEs do it.
This is Iona Island right?
Yes
lovin the open box at 4:35
Skip the first 2.30, there's nothing there. Locomotive doesn't really show until 3.30, and the Loco's not really on fire, it's just blown a turbo.
Just a little turbo issue. Quite common & they always make for a good show even more so at night. It'll eventually trip the turbo pump alarm & shut down.
Wow
How come whenever there is a derailment or a fire on a train, the cars it is carrying are highly flammable liquids or gasses?
No, not here. Im not sure if this train stops in North Bergen or Oak Island in NJ. But this engine was reported to still be spitting fire near Philly.
@2005GLI Use Windows Movie Maker. I use a Kodak Mini HD to record my trains. Should be somewhat similair to what you use. Great video btw.
headlight shows at 239, were the first 2 min 38 secs really necessary? You ARE presenting this to a worldwide audience
I have seen these trains from the top of Storm King mountain. Looking straight down is scary!
This train has at least 1 tunnel to go thru (I think) before reaching northern NJ. Must have been interesting!
Remember the time we were all watching this in like 2013.
