The late Floyd Carpenter, S.V.Ry. master mechanic and general manager, once told me that they started a lot of fires. I do not know of any major blazes that started from the railroads, but the climate was wetter back then. These days we only run our wood burning Heisler in low to moderate fire conditions.
