Can anyone from the C&TS engine crews (past or present) comment on the effectiveness of washing down the coal with the water spout? I believe this measure is done in an attempt to remove as much of the dreaded "fines" as possible. How does this method affect the longevity of the tender coal bunker in terms of any accelerated corrosion?

Thanks,
CLT
