Re: Grass fires caused by carbon buildup in stacks

I work with SD-40-2s on the railroad I work for and the heaviest sparks we get are at accelerating after idleing a while. But the sparks are gone with in a minute or so. Only one time have I seen sparks an entire trip but that was caused by the loco wet stacking for 3 days.
