Mostly, nothing else will cause this condition. <br /> <br />Apparently, GE locomotives suffer this condition more often than EMDs, which would indicate a design problem with GE's prime mover's turbo oil seal. <br /> <br />A stack fire is not to be confused with fire out of the stack of a naturally aspirated diesel engine'd locomotive. Two entirely different happenings. <br /> <br />Jim - Lawton, NV MP 236
