An anecdote from old WRM

See guys, steam and trolleys are a bad mix (not being serious).

Quote from Rypn.org today:

"When the Western Pacific #94 was running under the wire at Rio Vista, one morning while getting steam up in the shop, the fireman went up on top of the tender to check the fuel oil level. He pulled the dip stick out and accidently hooked it on the overhead wire in the shop......

shocking....."

It is good that heavy fuel oil is combustible rather than flammable, otherwise a spark like that would mean disaster.
