👏👍😀👈 Yes this is a good one my friend from worldwide trains I seen another video it was the same engine the same company they had a fire coming out of the stack too they had to stop it and put it out and open the panels up to the engine then it was all right they had to let it cool down. In this situation I think they're going to bring two engines to throw the bad one out and put it in front of the other good one then they can tow the army stuff where it's going to go thank you.
Thank you for bringing these videos out of the "vault" and putting them together in this video. I remember watching the original video of the fire on the Union Pacific engine that was powering the military train. The fire in the engine occurred a year or two before COVID-19 appeared. The train meet occurred at the Harrington Road crossing in Sheridan, New York. The train with the Canadian Pacific engines is CSX train #I166. This is the daily Canadian Paciic double stack train from the Canadian Pacific's Schiller Park Intermodal Yard in Schiller Park, Illinois to Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The final train was the Norfolk Southern "Brick" which is a Norfolk Southern track inspection unit. You started this video while driving east on Werle Road in Sheridan, New York. At the intersection of Werle Road and Progress Drive, you continued driving on Progress Drive and followed the train along Progress Drive until Progress Drive ended at Roberts Road. It was obvious that at the speed that the Norfolk Southern train was traveling that it was not doing any inspection work. (Posted 15 March 2023 at 1549 CDT.)
I thought I had seen the up8450 part before. Thanks for proving that I haven't completely lost my memory. :) I think it was repaired but the last pix I've found of it so far is from 3/10/2021...
I got one to top this, years ago the Saint John bound CP Rail led by a M-630 had a oil line burst. it coated the engine in oil . the unit was pushed shut down to Saint John where it was cleaned and repaired before the run that night to Montreal. I pitied those that had to clean it.
Awesome! I always love me some trains on fire and fails, LoL 😂. Great video ! Everyone stay safe during the Nor'easter, a lot of deaths during snow storms are from people trying to shovel snow and have a heart attack
Wow that rod cap blew right out through there and a piece of bearing Laying. in there.😢 Great catch of the research unit too Great video you take care.
It threw a rod, half of the bearing shell is laying on the walkway in the foreground. Look at the top of the crankcase access opening, that rod beat the crap out of the crankcase. It’ll probably need a piece of bent steel cut out and anther chunk from a parts donor block welded in its place. Guaranteed the piston cooling oil pipe just above that bent opening is torn up too, that engine will need some extensive welding work to get it back up and running, if they attempt it. Might just be an engine exchange depending on how many miles are on that engine.
I just had a military train go behind my house during the afternoon of Sunday March 12th that was being pulled by 2 Union Pacific locomotives on the Kansas City Southern line that goes through there. I wonder if this was that same train? I don't know which locomotives it was though.
is this the same military train you featured recently? packed full of equipment and big guns/cannon and ambulances?Commenters thought it was headed for deplyment to Ukraine War. or headed to a unit in OK Mountain something I am just a grandma not an expert on weapons or Military My late husband would b loving this though.He was into WWII tank battles and aviation. .
@@rearspeaker6364 I could be wrong, but I think this only applies to the 645 engine, which is being produced by a Polish affiliate. Progress Rail still produces the 710 engine and of course the tier 4 1010 engine. I believe that the 567 engine is no longer being produced. Again I could be wrong. Wabtec also has the rights to a slightly longer wheel base (112 vs 108) Blomberg B truck which is under the MP40 and some of the MP36 passenger locomotives. I’d like to see these on a new four motor freight locomotive someday.
@@armandoperez7967 true about the 567 engine, now the 645, they could have sold the manufacturing rights to that affiliate, just as EMD did to India railways for their EMD locomotives.
@@rearspeaker6364 The 645E/F is such a great engine that with new parts, including new power assemblies, the blocks can practically last forever. The old 567C/D accepts 645 power assemblies and if the block is still in good condition, it can keep on going. Many regional and short line railroads have locomotives with these 567 blocks with 645 assemblies and they are treated like any 645 engine. KATO makes aftermarket traction motors and electrical components as well. A smaller railroad can practically get a new old style EMD locomotive at a fraction of the cost of a newly built tier 4 locomotive.
I saw an old Diesel Mercedes Benz run away, flames shooting 15 feet out of the tailpipe. Also I had a Natural Gas Water boiler in S.E. D.C. run away. I shut the Gas off to the building while getting them to evacuate the Day Care, had my shop calling the Fire Department. Begged the Fire Department to not Spray Water on the Red Hot Boiler. They did, it blew up, luckily they only had minor injuries.
This was a totally surprising video nice trains , never saw that one with the top sheet metal cut out what was that , how many were made? Lots of questions on that model.
EMD diesel locomotive are supremely reliable I wonder what happens in the engine? Of course everything mechanical suffers from mechanical failures from time to time just a part of life
Nice capture on that blown engine. Boss. I can't imagine the work that will go into fixing that. What does that NS Research train research, do you know? And a train meet too! Alright!
Also was that strange looking unit a slug?? I've seen CN slugs before and they looked way different from that....the one with the cut out of the top sheetmetal.
Violent crankcase explosion on that EMD. Hood doors blown off their mounts at the top, and mechanical damage to the top of the open crankcase handhole door, likely from a loose connecting rod. A stuck or broken piston that uncovers the inlet ports in the liner can cause this.
I'm just thinking out loud here, but couldn't they simply switch the lead locomotive out and use the second locomotive and continued on ? or no they couldn't because it would now change everything in terms of how its all balanced out from weight to power, meaning how many locomotives are needed and were they are needing to be placed out to insure enough power to move it and stop it if need be again just thinking out loud here i by no means em i pro with this at all just curious minds want to know lol.
@@9983sp Wasn't the purpose of using the plate (not cast) block and the individual power-pack cylinder assemblies so that the blocks could be repaired?
I would actually prefer to turn off the raging locomotive prior to dousing it with thousands of gallons of water. I don't even see any water coming out of the bottom; I wonder, also, if the locomotive wasn't totaled before the FD arrived is it safe to assume that its totaled after?
@@WideWorldofTrains Thanks for the prompt reply I am always in ecstasy in front of all these impressive convoys by their respectable sizes!!!!! Amitiés
Don't look to good for the UP RR. I was an Engineer when the engine stopped running I walked back to check it out and found a piston laying on the cat walk. I should have taken it home but it was all oily and that was that.
It's most likely lack of maintenance or ignoring the sensors and monitor warnings indicating trouble. Thomas Edison and George Westinghouse would figure the problem out pronto- the braintrust electro-motive tech GM borrowed and paid for in the beginning. Tom and George weren't a couple of flunkie dummies.

Big surprise --- a worn out loco.
Imagine the boom when it first went off. Interesting video, Mike
Yes that had to shake the cab and the crew
@@WideWorldofTrains for sure! I would have said let me off at next station, better yet,let me off NOW!
Judging from the multiple dents in the engine block above the crankcase opening, it made a few good knocks before it went boom for the last time.
EMD!!
EVERY MECHANICS DREAM!!
I am glad no one was injured. ❤
i saw that same SD30C-ECO #5005 up here recently in Port Coquitlam, BC. it was trailing behind another ECO unit (the 5015)

Outstanding video from start to finish. Your coverage of the fire being extinguished was impressive !!!
Thank you very much!
Most of these military loads have a good lead time on them, Thank You 1st responders.
This was a awesome Premier sad that 8450 caught fire but It's good that it will be repaired
RIP to that engineer on that military train
What happened to the Engineer? I must have missed the statement about the fatality.
@@williamkaczmarek3996 not related to the railroad
It’s great to see what goes on with all the trains 🚂 and their hard work. 😅
@ThatIowanFoamer. UP 8450 is an SD70ACE. It appears to have broken a piston rod.
They had the white hats (officers) doing the work.
Looks like Navy SEABEES equipment for building landing strips.
A EMD Catches on Fire
seeing two trains at once really neat.
Thanks I'm glad you enjoyed the video
Does Norfolk southern have any equipment in good working order?
Usually the turbo lets go. Rare for the prime mover to blow. Thanks WWOT.
Ooh that UP engine got cooked. Awesome meet!
Oh yeah!
Hey the Canadian Pacific train alright woot woot 🌞 and the csx train woot woot woot 🌞
I’ve seen GEs blow a piston out of an engine block, but never an EMD. That’s a first!
I agree. I've never seen an EMD locomotive do anything remotely like this.
Thats Union Pacific, run 'em until they die! No maintenance required!, just buy a new unit! But if it was 4014, that would be much different!

We see those SD30cECOs on the CP River Sub. Flared rads, like a 45.
Nice Video
Thanks
Wouldn't cold water sprayed on a hot engine create more problems??? W Rusty Lane K9POW in eastern Tennessee
I was thinking the same. Burning oil and water aren't good friends, usually.

Different train. This is an old video.
Crankcase pressure must have gone through the roof on that SD70MAC.
Thanks for sharing!.
My pleasure!
Amazing that the locomotive is an SD70ACE. Usually when a burning locomotive is mentioned it is a GE.
That's true!
GE(Wabtec) is also the largest seller of aftermarket EMD engine parts........

Better order up one of those Jasper long blocks. 😁
Which one of you turkeys loaded the Boeing 737MAX software into that locomotive?????
I was at school but great video
EMD 710 oil leak very common. Looks like a thrown Rod, the AC GE unit can take it from here long hood forward.
Canadian Pacific . Gos through Wi . I know it. I just took time out to watch one. In Brookfield going east towards Milwaukee
Well that's a a bummer, 🤯😵😱
The train is pulling a lot of weight . Wow things get real Hot. Anything could happen. Wow 😅
GP30? That's either an original SD90 that didn't blow up, until now, or a SD70Ace. GP's never have 6 wheel trucks under them.
Later on in the video there was an SD30Eco
I bet that's some nice run-off @ 2:46 ...
Norfolk Southern research train. So they can figure out how to derail better.

@@perrybabin8427 Correct. Crankshaft will need attention and maybe internal cooling and oil piping..
