We've seen evil trains to hell before, but never do they get old. I can watch giant fireballs shoot out of (and potentially destroy) giant steel machines all day. Michael Bay don't got nothing on the Canadian National Railway.

With the disclaimer right upfront that I AM NOT A DIESEL MECHANIC, I'm not sure the video description is correct in saying that this train blew a turbo. As commenter Boris_Nofziger_1000 pointed out last time we saw something like this, a few issues can prompt a train to go all Orange Mario on everything, from the fuel lines to oil getting in the stack.

It sounds like the engineer shut this one down before it properly exploded, but for loss of life and injury purposes, I think that's fine.
