Why was R761 leaving tonnes of steam after the departure at Castlemaine?
VRY112 2 months ago
@VRY112 The driver or fireman is performing a blowdown of the boiler. The main reason is to blow any sediment from the boiler (usually during lightup) as part of boiler water treatment. The other reason can be is if the boiler is too full which can cause priming or water carry over (both are not good). To eleviate this, the driver or fireman (usually the fireman) can open to blowdown cock, and blow out any surplus water.
Hope this helps!

The whistling at Malmsbury must have something to do with the celibrations of the 150 yrs of the viaduct was made.

Great Work!
I was at the bottom of the Malmsbury Viaduct and was unsure why R 761 and R 707 were whistling so much.
Was there a particular reason?
