Most probably a turbo failure, the engine is suffocating at load. At idle, the engine suffers less and only a thin white smoke was to be seen. The best thing, if possible, is to stop the loco soon, to prevent the wearing of the engine (valves gears, etc...). Very good shot in each case.

EMD fans love saying how GE's are junk, with no proof to back up that claim. GE prime movers are statistically just as reliable as EMD prime movers. The only reason we happen to see more videos of GE prime mover problems, IS BECAUSE THERE ARE A LOT MORE GE'S PULLING FREIGHT OUT THERE. As of 2010, GE had 70 percent of the loco market. That number has no doubt shot up even more, since EMD has somehow was unable to get a Tier 4 EPA approved loco on the market for years while GE had Tier 4 units pulling freight for all the major RR's for almost 2 years before EMD was ready. One more thing, since GM sold EMD to Caterpillar in 2005, ask loco crews which they prefer - GE, or EMD. I have heard repeatedly from crews of UP, BNSF, and others, that they much prefer GE's, and that the Caterpillar made EMD's are loud, uncomfortable, and harder on the crews.
Howard is right you know! EMD hasn't made a good locomotive in almost 40 years since before the SD50. I hate anything SD60/70/75/80/90. All junk and been around them lots as leaders and trailers on my trains.
@@EveryoneIsFightingSomeBattle If EMD's are so terrible like how most GE fanboys claim, why did Norfolk Southern go out of their way to purchase 40 brand-new Tier 3 SD70ACe's? They could have easily bought more Tier 4 GE's instead, but nope, they went with the Tier 3 credits with the fantastic 16-710 prime mover. There's even 10 Tier 4 EMD's on the way for summer 2019.
In this case the turbo has a problem,at the end of the video the loco is retired,and the engine stops gradually. One new turbo and the problenm is solutionated.
Go check the indonesian railway, they have plenty and doing their best to keep them running (in recent news, the railway comp made a deal with wabtec to MRO their locos, to keep them alive till 2030 and even years to come, some of them are built in late 70s)....also their newest locomotives, are still based on u20, 7fdl-8......they seems very love it and cant move on from them. But the railfans and expert says that it would hampered the company and its personnel to access and learn new locomotive technology
that was rare moment, full smoke , loss power , love sound engine throtle , but the loco needed maintenance turbo part , check my vid as well my friend ,
for Indonesian Locomotives, that Thick Smoke or maybe Fire on the Locomotive are not "Failed Locomotive" for Indonesian Railfans who saw those Fire/Smoke, its a Greatest Moments :D
Black smoke always:Bad injectors turbo failure.Black smoke at full throttle at low turns: Bad injection spray,AND lazy turbo that doesnnt blow enough amount Air to the chamber.More issues: Compression pressure low or different in the cylinders .If the combustión(ignition)of the fuel is incomplete some Fuel go to outside unburnt With the risk to burn outside (flames,sen in much cases)All these issues loose power AND torque un evidencie at low turns(rpm) this Is the worst condition for a diesel engine if isrequired that give full power when the train climb a mountain,a bridge or other road.thee Max gradients(degrees)Is low(1or 2 degrees. Max this Is variable With the load to pull.
@ Soul Sweeper And? Which steps are missing? You do not know? Why, for heavens sake, did you text the world then? And, @vector6977 let me know whether you know how a DE works and - preferable - what the "electric" part has to do with a smoking diesel engine?
Wow. You are not better in missing steps than everybody else..... And some statements are sheer nonsense. For ex.: "The electric motors always have 100% torque." 100% of what and in which operating condition?? The torque of an electric motor may be the same over the whole speed range or independent of the number of revolutions, but that is only valid in the case the motor gets the voltage and current it is designed for. In case of a malfunctioning prime mover, where the prime mover has only low rpm you wont get the full power out of the generator therefore the voltage at the electro motors is low thus the current that it can draw too. That makes at the end a lower torque than normal. Torque and power arent the same. That is not something new. But they are related and dependend. You cant get the full power from a starving diesel motor, therefore you cant get full power and - at the end - full torque of that machine´s electro motors either.....
If this has a 2 stroke diesel engine, it needs the turbo to provide scavenging of the cylinders, without the turbo the engine cant draw its own air and will barely run whilst spewing clouds of diesel smoke, these engines use a gearbox to drive the turbo compressor at idle, once the engine revs up the gearbox disengages and from then on the turbo is spun by the exhaust turbine.
Dear I had to correct you , GeneralElectric never makes a 2 stroke engine in it's whole life time , in fact it's the other way around , EMD used to make the 2stroke engine till being bought by caterpillar , it turned to 4 stroke engines in some years now.
@@TheeMastermindKing have a look at EMD engines, they use a special gear set and clutch to operate the turbocharger at idle then as the engine is notched up the clutch disengages and it operates on exhaust pressure.
@@WayneSA85 so...they are pretending to be covered hoppers like here is America. That's very strange. I know boxcars were first used to move grain up to about 1950's here in America. Since then all grain is transported in covered hoppers.
This is most likely the result of a blown turbo charger. Coincidentally, humans are most at risk from the inhalation of diesel exhaust as it is a known carcinogen.
The GE Locomotives are a love, no matter in which part of the world they run, awesome video

The locomotive is fine, just operated by a country boy. He turned the mixture up to roll coal and is out looking for mud crickets
Turbo failure
This Is Globalitations !!

Correct yes.
in my country the locomotive is called cc201(ge u18c) and its engine acceleration sounds the same and from exhaust exit smoke and fire called kobong
Finally found some indonesians

Still going strong here in SA. Thanks for watching.

Awesome capture my friend Like 👍🏻 And Greeting 🙋🏻
Wow nice video 👍😁
Nice catch mate
Thanks Dave.
Failed State. Pretty soon that locomotive won't have to work so hard. The train cars will all be empty.
Yeah, terrible what has happened here.
in Indonesia this locomotive is often known as cc201 locomotive
I see at UA-cam not real life i see one :( CC 201
Beda ngab kalo cc201 itu ge u18c
Nice capture👌👌
Born as a GE, living as an Alco!
Muito bom o vídeo amigo parabéns!!!! Manda mais vídeos
Maintenance was never an African word.
Lol
Very gallant mechine sound.. so nice
Very broken machine. Thanks for watching.
This is the difference between to be proud about your work and to just to have a job
Seems more like an alco with all the smoke
I know right? The Class 35 even resembles an Alco in appearance. Interesting.
Just a broken GE unfortunately. Thanks for watching.
nice
Which one is broke..the one that's killing all the bugs or the one that just sits back there and do nothing??
LOL...! xD
Good point lol. In that case probably both
Haha. Thanks for watching.
How is she now?
that was rare moment, full smoke , loss power , love sound engine throtle , but the loco needed maintenance turbo part , check my vid as well my friend ,
Will do. Thanks for watching.
Its Africa.its still 500.000 Kim left in her.
Probably more.... haha. Thanks for watching.
Wow 👍🔥

Hanging in there.
for Indonesian Locomotives, that Thick Smoke or maybe Fire on the Locomotive are not "Failed Locomotive" for Indonesian Railfans who saw those Fire/Smoke, its a Greatest Moments :D
Turbo Failed... No Boost Pressure
yeap!!!
Maybe, enough bad injectors can cause that too though... either way, SEND THAT PIECE OF JUNK TO THE SHOP OMG...
Great. Thanks.
amazingg they still have trains !
It is! Clinging on for dear life.
These GE's have 4 stroke engines I guess, They have shorter life span and not meant to pull heavy freight or take long trips ..
Been in service for 50 odd years, going pretty strong if you ask me. Thanks for watching.
Why..this a failed loco..?
Blown turbocharger.

The smoke in GE U15C😧
Amazing XD
Ho'oh
in Indonesian This is CC201 Locomotive.
Adit Meyudin CC201 mah U18C mas

35 class locomotives in South Africa have an 8 cylinder 4 stroke engine. P.S 2 stroke engines don't have turbo's they have superchargers😉

Hey u sound very knowledgable with this locomotives
This is Luhanskteplovoz or Fairbanks Morse locomotive?
Haha! Smoke monster.
its brother GE U18C Is also having these types of black smoke on rare occasion's in indonesia
the enginesound same with cc201 locomotive in indonesia
Sound of engine U15C same GE U18C in Indonesia
Looks to me like your typical early ge
Very early. They vintage already.
What type of freight cars are those? They look like quad door low roof boxcars.
They used for bulk grain. Have loading hatches at the top and bottom as well. Thanks for watching.
