At least one, if not two of the locomotives at Walt Disney World have been outfitted with an automatic firing system. It controls the firing rate according to demand, also kills the fire if the water level drops below a predetermined level. The Crown at Micheal Jackson's Neverland Ranch was set up with a similar system , Shop Services apparently did the install.
