Part 2! How a diesel locomotive dies! Smoke and fire from the engine exhaust pipe! Russian trains

[@georgecarter838]

I just retired as a locomotive engineer (driver) after 32 years, and I can tell you I had quite a few diesel locomotives like this that set a lot of line side fires as well as fires inside the car bodies. Many fires were from aspirated ( non turbo) diesels that were the result of carbon build-up inside the stacks which also included diesel and oil residue that were not properly combusted. Most of the fires were from older EMD dieseld, but I had a lot of newer GE diesels that were notorious fire throwers like in your videos and these were turbo-equipped. It was one of my daily inspections before I left the terminal yards to make sure I had extra fire extinquishers in each locomotive especially during the dry season just in case they started fires. Sometimes it could get pretty intense at times when my locomotives were under a heavy load climbing hills. I remember a few times seeing fire and sparks shooting out the stacks so high it looked like a volcano. Glad those days are over!

[@NotSoCrazyNinja]

No video memories? I bet those were some sights to behold.

[@georgecarter838]

@@NotSoCrazyNinja None unfortunately, but some of my conductors snapped a few from their I-Phones before they were banned from bringing them inside the cab ( safety reasons). Personally, it could rattle your nerves if the fire was coming from inside the engine room while pulling at speed and the conductor is trying to put it out with an extinquisher. What was scary was if we had to switch an industry that delt with hazardous materials, we had to make sure there was no excessive sparks being thrown from the stacks before we went in. I could write a book about those days, I guess!

[@schmoburger6086]

Our EMD's tend to burn pretty clean all things considered, however some the older Goodwin-Alco engines would clag a bit and sometimes give you some fireworks. It used to be quite a sight seeing the 48 class which could still often be found as trailing power, pulling fully loaded wheat or flour trains out of the starch mill nearby at night at close quarters... Some without exhaust scrubbers fitted had quite a bit of ember and flames coming out the stacks when they were working hard. On the other hand, Qube's Danish MZIII class engines with the 20-645 EMD main engine can get pretty hot and heavy up the top.

[@jetstream454]

When you say "Glad those days are over", is that referring to the older diesels or your time as an engineer?

This happens frequently around the world with locomotives. Blown turbos and engines with no emissions filters. I notice many of these are Russian.

[@MrPaul-id8vu]

So it is! There is almost no maintenance, the engine runs to the last!

[@Mister_McCanless]

I could imagine the worried expression on the engineers face as soon as the trains blew their stacks

[@flydieselair]

Not very often you see these engines detonate in a more glorious fashion. Nothing like the sight of an engine that suffered catastrophic failure at 2000 RPM via an 80 lbs. connecting rod.

[@MariaEngstrom]

These engines are not blown or dying, this is just spontaneous burning of carbon deposit in the exhausts. It is quite "normal" on older engines that have not been properly cleaned. A blown turbo can cause this kind of fire too.

Only this can happen in Russia. Diesel truck engines can do the same. My dad drove semi all his life and had a conventional Peterbilt with 425 caterpillar engine in it and both stacks be said lite up like roman candles and in a Texas toll booth. But it ran like that for a while and sparks were flying everywhere but she straightened out. Yeah " RUSSIAN ROMAN CANDLES ! 🚂🕯️

[@davidstewart4570]

This is insane. Are they just stack fires or some kind of engine failure?

[@NotSoCrazyNinja]

I think it varies. During cold start, there is a lot of atomized diesel going out the stack since not many of the cylinders are firing just yet. When some do, they release hot exhaust gas into the same area where there is a lot of fuel. If the fuel to air ratio is right and the temperatures are right, bam, fire in the stack. There could also be a lot of carbon buildup in the stack that can get hot enough to catch the unburned diesel on fire. Diesel engines use compression to ignite the fuel, so, on cold start, it can take a little bit for all the cylinders to fire right.

[@unity3596]

There just heating up there cold unburned oil that's why the locomotives are smoking while starting up but if it smoking constantly that's a engine problem

[@ILOVEBDTRAIN635]

Tail pipes are on cars. Diesel engines have exhaust stacks.

[@Der_Hoschinator]

Ähm...Wie wär's mit Motor abstellen?

[@froz3nmindz124]

Anhand der Kommentare hier, ist das wohl „normal“. Die Lokomotiven sind russischer Bauart und im Winter wird es ziemlich kalt. Damit der Motor nicht einfriert Lassen den viele über Nacht laufen. Problem ist, dass diese Motoren nicht drauf ausgelegt sind bei Standgas über längere Zeit zu laufen. Die Temperatur vom Motor ist nicht ausreichend um den Kraftstoff vollständig zu verbrennen, was dazu führt dass sich Rückstände von unverbrannten Kraftstoff ansammeln. Um diese zu verbrennen, wird dem Motor im Leerlauf ordentlich in den Arsch getreten damit die Abgastemperatur steigt, damit die angesammelten Rückstände mit verbrennen. Dies trifft zu bei allen außer einem Clip. Dort ist der Turbolader der Lok kaputt wodurch Öl was zur Schmierung des Turboladers dient, mit in den Brennraum kommt und verbrannt wird. Wenn das passiert gibt es beim Auto zumindest, zwei Wege um einen Folgeschaden zu verhindern. Man kann zum Beispiel ein Stück Holz vor den Ansaugtrakt halten, dadurch bekommt der Motor keine Luft mehr und geht aus. Das selbe funktioniert auch mit einem CO2 - Feuerlöscher. Jedoch ist sowas bei solch riesigen Motoren nicht möglich sowas „mal eben“ abzustellen. Wenn so ein Motor anfängt sein eigenens Öl zu verbrennen, geht man besser ein paar (oder mehr, je nachdem wie sehr man sein Glück ausreizen möchte) Schritte bei Seite und ruft die Feuerwehr. Hoffe ich konnte ein wenig aufklären.

[@corroelofs6753]

I never knew diesel trains need an anti-lag system. Must be good for rallying.

[@kellywilson8440]

Whats the story with the loco at 2:20 ?

[@MrPaul-id8vu]

It's like burning oil and soot out of an engine exhaust pipe!

[@christophhro1]

They will test the maximum Force of the Diesel-Engine from the loco, this produces Current like a very huge dynamo. The powerlines are disconnected fom the drive alternators and the produced current has to bring outside to a variable Resistor. So they can control the load for regulating the diesel engine. And as you can see, theres a lot of Load. And don't be afraid, the maximum load has reached, the Exhaust pipes were not molten and the smoke pollution rate is okay for such a 2-Stroke Diesel. There is only burning carbon and not fireflys, made of molten Steel, magnesium or other. The Engine herself runs proper, without a trace of any damages. In 0:12 -those Engines sang goodbye..

[@Dokker62]

Stationary test with an incorrectly adjusted Injection system - as usual in russia. The engine runs way too rich with far exceeded exhaust temperatures. These nutjobs never had any clou about pumps and nozzles.

[@christophhro1]

@@Dokker62 agree, but a 2-stroke engines produces more smoke than 4-stroke engines anyway. However, there are normal russian parameters for a stationary load test in this take, so i'm afraid.

[@Dokker62]

@@christophhro1 If you watch e. g. estonian 2TE10Ms you'll find pretty low-smoke working 10D100s considering their age and ancient constructive principle. These dinosaurs can run ok if maintained professionally. Examples in this vid are far from proper handling.
