What tools would one expect to find on a narrow gauge steam locomotive?
What different tools would be found on an oil burner, a coal burner, and/or a wood burner?
How many rerail frogs are typically found?
Do narrow gauge trains typically carry screw jacks or another type of jack to help with derailments?
How many tool boxes are typically found mounted on a locomotive and/or its tender?
Or is all of this railroad specific?
Finally what tools would be found on a logging train vs a common carrier type freight or passenger train?
Thanks.
