Lol I was at Disneyland at fantasyland standing by its a small world when engine 5 the Ward Kimball opened her cocks up. There was a literal "explosion"(as this engine doesnt have relief valves) ad everyone on small world and the toontown bridge got wet! The other Forney they have the Gurley also doesnt have relief valves but her front right cock is always leaking so its not the same effect
When I was a fireman there at Roaring Camp in 1971-1975 the hippies used to stand out there and get showered by the blowdown. They always stayed far enough out that the water had a chance to cool off.
Correct! That's the "churn" pumping up the brakes.
There's a point back in the trees there known as "McSkunk Junction" where they stop to re-align a track switch to the main line. Once that's done, they need to pump the air back up to release the brakes.
A shay has 3 vertical cylinders that go to a drive shaft, the drive shaft has gears at the ends and the wheels have teeth. The teeth on the drive shaft fit into the teeth on the wheels, as the pistons turn the drive shaft the wheels turn with it.
i had some show off biker kids call me a fag one day when steaming an american at are club around a park. no one was around so i decided maybe open up that blow down valve and give them something to remember and y they shouldnt mess with a 12 year old on a steam engine
afraid of a little blow-down ;) I don't blame you by the time it got to you it would have been a nice cool shower but it would have wrecked your camara!

i agree. the spray of steam is that powerful it can completely cover you. Happened to me on a different railway line, but was funny to watch.

I enjoy it when 4449 does it. Cylinder cocks are not the same as a blow-down.
