Fire from a blown turbo.

Here a Norfolk Southern C40-9W belches black smoke and flames as the train heads east towards Columbus, Ohio. The smoke and flames are most likely caused by a blown turbocharger on the engine, and as a result, a rich mixture of fuel and oil is being released into the hot exhaust stack creating the smoke and flames.

Springfield, Ohio.
