Exactly. That guy knows nothing about locomotives.
Main generators don't blow up. They might flash over.
There are no rods in a main generator, nor would anything
in the MG have anything to do with rods or the oil pan.
Speaking of which, there is no oil or cooling water in
the MG.
Sounds like it simply broke a piston rod, which may have
knocked a hole in the crankcase or oil pan, or a crankcase
explosion, which would probably blow off a crankcase handhole
cover.
