30 calendar days. Boiler wash had to be performed not more than 30 days from the previous insp.
90 calendar days.
180 calendar days.
365 calendar days.
730 calendar days for removal of staybolt caps
1,460 days for flue removal and full boiler inspection.
Note that those were calendar days. It didn't matter if the locomotive
was fired up every day or only 1 day during that period. 30 days was 30
days, period. And if it wasn't fired up at all in that 30 days, those
days still had to be accounted for.
