threw a rod and a piston

heard of throwing a piston? Here's a different version



This is Canadian National locomotive number 2699. It is a 212 ton, 6 axle machine powered by a 4400 hp V16 4 stroke Diesel.

The engine & train were passing the town of Independence, Louisiana when she threw a piston.













:grin:

 

Holy cow!

 

Looks like a cheater ,Must be revving 8000 rpm .:laugh:

 

W:shock:W!!! Im glad it didn't go worse and actually hit a person.

 

holy crap !!!

 

What is in the second pic from top? Is that a sleeve/cylinder for the piston?

 

wow!:shock: I wanna see the hole in the engine it came out of.o No:

 

And the Tundra was spared!

 

yes, it's called a cylinder pack

 

Good Grief! :shock:

 

Pretty amazing considering the glacial engine speed of these things.

 

True, unless it was a diesel "runaway" They spin crazy fast then!:eek2:
