How often do they have to have water for there cooling systems?
Probably, just like your car, needs to be flushed once in a while, unless it leaks…
Look at the subjec line of this particular thread and tell me this is not BUTCHERING THE SPELLING OF THE ENLISH LANGUAGE!
Diesel engines in Locomotives use water and a rust inhibitor for cooling.
The system is a open system, not pressurized, besides small leaks, drips etc at radiators and engine fittings part of the water evaporizes so yes they need to be filled at regular intervalls.
Or after being drianed for a cold weather shutdown.

I was in Anniston, AL one day in 1986 and a northbound freight train stopped right on the mainline while a garden hose was run across the tracks to its side. One of the GP50s on the train had a low water condition and the crew stopped and watered it right there. The crew opened the hood door and accomplished the watering just as quick as I can write it. Then the train was on its way.
In the old days (pre-HEP) some diesels had steam heat boilers fitted, these would have needed a water supply. One or two types over here even recieved water scoops to allow them to use the same troughs as steam locos to repleni***he boiler water tanks.
I’m sorry, but someone has to…

My, my, aren’t we all getting picky. If correct spelling and grammar usage were a prerequisite for posting on these forums, eligible posters would be reduced by 95%!
Let’s hear it for our primary and secondary school systems!
Now … back to TRAINS!
OK now if all the pots are done calling the kettels black… Some of us are not that good of spellers, myself included, but it’s obvious a lot of these errors are just typos. Those of you that are guilty of this should read before they post. It helps. But don’t judge people by there spelling and grammar abilities. There are many VERY intelegent members of this forum that can’t spell worth a — and wouldn’t know proper grammar if it bit them in the —.[;)]
[(-D] you got me there.
I would have to believe that a diesel’s cooling system would have to topped off, every now and then, just ot replenish what drips out and evaporates.
You are correct…it should be spelled "…DISMAL’S… "[;)]
The Importance of Correct Punctuation
Dear John:
I want a man who knows what love is all about. You are generous, kind, thoughtful. People who are not like you admit to being useless and inferior. You have ruined me for other men. I yearn for you. I have no feelings whatsoever when we’re apart. I can be forever happy–will you let me be yours?

Do not put statements in the negative form.
And don’t start sentences with a conjunction.
If you reread your work, you will find on rereading that a great deal of repetition can be avoided by rereading and editing.
Never use a long word when a diminutive one will do.
Unqualified superlatives are the worst of all.
If any word is improper at the end of a sentence, a linking verb is.
Avoid trendy locutions that sound flaky.
Never, ever use repetitive redundancies.
Avoid alliteration. Always.
Prepositions are not words to end sentences with.
Avoid clichés like the plague. (They’re old hat.)
Employ the vernacular.
Eschew ampersands & abbreviations, etc.
Parenthetical remarks (however relevant) are unnecessary.
It is wrong to ever split an infinitive.
Contractions aren’t necessary.
Foreign words and phrases are not apropos.
One should never generalize.
Eliminate quotations. As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “I hate quotations. Tell me what you know.”
Comparisons are as bad as clichés.
Don’t be redundant; don’t use more words than necessary; it’s highly superfluous.
Be more or less specific.
Understatement is always best.
One-word sentences? Eliminate.
Analogies in writing are like feathers on a snake.
The passive voice is to be avoided.
Go around the barn at high noon to avoid colloquialisms.
Even if a mixed metaphor sings, it should be derailed.
Who needs rhetorical questions?
Exaggeration is a billion times worse than understatement.
Zardoz,
I would be much better with grammar if I understood 1/2 of those. Oh well. Back to fakeing it.[:D]
OWED 2 SPEL CHEKR
I have a spelling checker,
It came with my pea sea,
It plane lee marks four my revue
Miss steaks aye can knot sea.

Your sure reel glad two no,

My checker tolled me sew.
A checker is a bless sing,

It helps me right awl stiles tu reed,
And aids me when aye rime.
Each fraz cumposd upon my screen
Eye trussed too bee a joule
The checker pours o’er every word
To cheque sum spelling rule.
Be fore a veiling checkers
Hour spelling mite decline,
And if were lacks or have a laps,
We wood be maid to wine.
Butt now bee cause my spelling

Their r know faults within mi cite,
Of non eye am a wear.

Of witch won should be proud,
And we mussd du the best we can,
Sew flaws are knot aloud.
Sow u can sea why eye du prays
Such soft ware four pea seas,
And why I brake in two averse
By righting want too pleas.
