That's a GE locomotive for you. Turbo failure... it can happen to just about any diesel engine though.
Do a search for that (GE locomotive turbo failure) on YouTube and you will get to see a bunch of them.

Tommy caught this happening on a CN EMD once as well (strong language warning):

Already saw that many times while watching railcams (pretty rare here since theres only 2 big freights per day and 1 local)
