  • Also you don't want the engineer looking at your steam pressure all the time. It is not a good sign.

  • @Kleman09 True, After 10 hours of fireman on a coal fire, a hot shower and some clean clothes is really nice. (sleep too)

  • @slinky460 you wont want to jump out of the cab, but you'll get a blast of smoke and real realy hot air!

  • Does the durango and silverton railway have a fireman/engineer school as well?

  • gosh if i could come up ther 18 with a back round of live steam id be running those things in a day!

  • Actually it is a good idea to test yourself out and see if this is really what you want to do first. It is hot dirty demanding work to fire and operate a steam locomotive. A coal fired locomotive is even more demanding and dirty.You must like Heat, Coal smoke, cinders, steam, valve oil, usually all at the same time. A operating steam locomotive demands attention ALL the time. Fireman tip #1 When stopped, don't open the doors without the blower on or you may have to jump out of the cab.

  • A lot of Coal.

  • @Chatzi473 well yeah I know that, but I mean like how do you apply here?

  • shoveling coal

  • Nice video. How does one become engineer on this line?
