BNSF 1010 and a flaming B30-7A lead a southbound train on the Joint Line at Acequia, CO.
Description : GE's are known to "flash over" when uncombusted fuel enters the exhaust manifold. This usually occurs when throttling up due to the "turbo lag" inherent with GE locomotives.
Location : Acequia, Colorado on the Joint Line.
