Sanding flues on steam locomotive D&SNGRR No. 482

Описание: #shorts
Normal firing builds up a layer of material on the inside of the flue's that insulates the hot gases from heating the water correctly. When the engine is worked fairly hard, sand is fed into the firebox door opening and it is drafted up into the flues cleaning out everything that is inside on the walls of the flues. This is really dirty stuff, and it goes up and out the stack if the engine is pulling hard.

Inside the steam locomotive No. 482 on the D&SNGRR – Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad for a ride from Durango to Silverton. Complete ride on our channel. See all the action inside the lead locomotive cab, hear the whistle, see outside views and enjoy the ride. With the addition of steam locomotive No. 476 to help with the larger train and increased passenger count two steam locomotives make their way up the hill.

Steam locomotive #482
