Re: Water at Hermosa

My dad and I have experienced the same thing Earl at the 30" gauge railroad here in Omaha.
In the summers, here in Nebraska get REAL hot with the humidity, im sure you know about that now Earl having lived in Texas and now in, what, Oklahoma...
The Austrian 0-6-2t still has its original injectors on it but for some reason have never been restored or over hauled, and the UP or somebody decided it was easier to mount Penberthy guns on top of the side tanks. On real hot days, we take water after every trip, otherwise they wont start and we'll be stuck trying to get them to start for along time. When it gets that bad, we just shut the fire WAY down, and let it sit, and try the injectors about every couple minutes.
Ive had a few times where the water will get real low, and even when you blow the glass down, almost no water comes up AT ALL... thats when I step down and step back awaise from the engine and wait for alittle bit. But then the love for it all still makes me want to get up and help out still and try to get the guns to start.
That advice to the hostlers and everything is good Earl. I will most definetly take it into consideration when I start my career there.
Do you think you could email me about you nine steps to firing an engine please?
Thanks alot,
Kevin Bush
