Well, such "turbo blown up" problem was also happened in Indonesia a few months ago:
(the scene on 7:44 shows the locomotive still emits large amount of flame from its exhaust stack)
This incident was occurred on November 4th, 2021, when Indonesian Railways' Lampung Regional Division operated special trains for carrying personnels of Indonesian Army to the training grounds north of Martapura city. At first this train was pulled by CC204 37 (
GE C20EMP) of Kertapati locomotive depot, but it was later replaced by CC202 20 (EMD G26MC-2U) of Tarahan locomotive depot at Labuhanratu station due to
turbo overheating, which made the turbo to became excessively blown up. CC204 37 itself began to emit huge flame from its exhaust stack as the train approaches distant signal of Labuhanratu station, prompting the engineer and his assistant to perform emergency stop for extinguishing the flame, helped by other train crews and local people residing along the track.
While the locomotive itself was always maintained by Lahat Workshops to keep it in working order, it seems that the wear and tear caused by this locomotive's usual work (pulling coal trains from Muara Enim area to coal terminal near Palembang, or pulp trains from PT. Tanjung Enim Lestari's Niru Factory to the warehouse complex near Tarahan station) became the biggest factor that triggered this incident.
