Steam 2-8-0 #40 Dumps Ash

[12m41l]

omg at the start it looks like the train is shiting xD

You've all heard that steam locomotives are as close as mankind has come to creating a personified metal object, well this is such a device completing the cycle, by taking a dump.

[Trainfanatic192]

Didn't #40 work on the White Pass & Yukon during 2000 and 2001?

[TrainiacProductions]

Hmmm. Not that I know of! #40's been in PA for a LONG time!

Jim

[Trainfanatic192]

Ok. I have a White Pass documentary that says there was a #40 2-8-0 that worked there, so I was wondering if this was it.

[TrainiacProductions]

I may be wrong -- I'm just giving you an educated guess.

Jim

[Trainfanatic192]

You were right, the one on the White Pass was from the Georgetown Loop. The #40 here is identical, I mean 99% identical, to the one that was on the White Pass, but they're different guages. (How'd I miss that!)

[Chris9017]

@Trainfanatic192 That number #40 was a narrow gauge outside frame locomotive, this is a normal frame standard gauge #40. There are surprisingly a lot of operating 2-8-0s in America that bare the number 40.

@Chris9017 I know, when I made those comments I was a complete idiot, I could hardly tell the difference between an NKP berk and 3751 at the time (no joke)

@Trainfanatic192

That's a different #40 which is in the Golden RailRoad Museum In Colorado. Shes a Beauty

This is interesting when I have seen the steamers on the Cumbres and Toltec RR their dumped ash is extremly hot but they probably don't use the water from the injector to clean it but it sure makes for a nice fire show.

[BNSFnick]

thats cool I have never seen one dump ash! The only steamer that I have rode on is the Nickel Plate Road 587.

5*s too!

[TrainiacProductions]

i just want to add that we are not taking water out of the boiler at the end of the day,we are using water from the injector to clean the ash out of the pan.we shake the fire down to remove most of the dead ash but not all of it, to prevent cold air from entering the firebox. Mark

[TrainiacProductions]

Ohhh, I didn't know that. Thank you very much for clarifying that! That's really interesting
