Probably one of the units that had the faulty turbo.

Get ready to see way more things like this in EMD and GE with Tier 3 coming on. DPF's will make paint jobs require Boiler Jackets under the hood to keep the colors on the Locomotives.

Always at war with those that think OTR trucking is EASY.

Looks like BNSF #6163 had a blown turbo judging by what appears to be fire damage. This ES44AC's only over 3 years old and already needs a new paint job.
