Re: Grass fires caused by carbon buildup in stacks

One hot, dry September day my son and I were following PCC's eastbound CW job. Left Coulee City with about 20 loads and after pickups along the way he reached around 55 loads. Several times the engineer commented to the conductor in the chase truck that he was having dry wheel slip on the hills. Surprised he didn't set some wheat or grass fields ablaze.
