…Fifty and plus years ago they worked real hard to keep a roaring fire going in a locomotive…
Very true.
Another toaster?
Probably some drunk thought he’d help out by throwing a few logs on the fire…
Wonder if csxengineer98 was playing with matches again! Darn him, he’s old enough to know better. LOL
Hope everyone knows I’m JUST KIDDING!!
Must have been a GE! Dang those campfires! I hate it when they get out of control like that[:(!].

Expect nothing less. CSX, the manufacturer of the rusty metal flamethrower.[:D]

Perhaps they finally made the engine block too puny to hold the combustion. You can only cut so much in a effort to save money.

i thought CSXT stood for Cook Stove Xstenguisher [:D]
…Here comes Mookie with the biggest hammer she can find![swg][swg][swg]
Eng 7313 was the culprit account a broken fuel line between the fuel pump and the fuel injectors…sprayed fuel all over the place. The engine is a narrow cab GE Dash-8.
Like it or not, all things mechanical fail from time to time. Sometimes those failures end up in a fire. Personally, I pass the remanents of more automobile fires along the highways and byways that I travel, than I have come across locomotive fires in my 40 years of railroad employment. It all falls under the category of DO DO Happens!
