Spark Arrestors
| June 04, 2009 01:32AM |
Probably one of the most iconic pieces of equipment that the C&TS and D&S uses are the rectangular spark arrestors. I've always wondered about the factors that determine whether a locomotive wears one or not (aside from weather, of course). On a similar note...whatever happened to the more boxy, angular arrestors that the D&S would sometimes use? (picture below)
