    You guys are doing amazing work by restoring the 4070! Don’t let any of the naysayers discourage you in any way shape or form. Whoever asked “CaN yOu EvEn FiX tHaT tHiNg?” is nothing but a troll. Some haters have nothing better to do these days.

  • @TranscontinentalRailfan

    Thank you so much for the Q&A video! I prefer 4070 to be an oil burner anyway because that allows more operating opportunities for 4070.

  • @atsfevan0242
    @atsfevan0242 Месяц назад

    I'm not surprised in the slightest they mentioned 4070 will be converted to oil. While it is a shame I can understand their decision as coal prices have gone up these last few years and more steam engines I know of both operational or under rebuild have been planned or have been converted to oil.

  • @Stooltoad5017
    @Stooltoad5017 Месяц назад

    4070 has a stoker? The Duluth, Missabe and Iron Range light Santa Fe (also a USRA type) at the National railroad Museum doesn’t. Now I imagine 4070 was either ordered that way or was equipped with one later In life. 506 on the other hand is still equipped to have the fireman fire it by shovel.

    • @s16100
      @s16100 Месяц назад

      Back when 4070 was running, I don't believe the stoker was in operational condition. She was hand fired, but yes she has a stoker. I am pretty sure it was applied by the GT&W.

    • @midwestrailway
      @midwestrailway Месяц назад

      The duplex stoker was known to be cantankerous in Valley Line days, and hand firing is often needed to keep a fired “just right”

    • @midwestrailway
      @midwestrailway Месяц назад

      All USRA designs apart from the switches were equipped with stokers! The DM&IR often got engine secondhand, so who knows what may have caused those engines to be hand fired

    • @Stooltoad5017
      @Stooltoad5017 Месяц назад

      @@midwestrailway I’ll have to take a closer look when I see it next! I thought I read the DM&NR received the USRA Santa Fe new during the war effort, but I maybe misread or didn’t look closely enough. They did also use them for quite a long time and may have taken them out on their own.

  • @s16100
    @s16100 Месяц назад

    Ohio coal is not illegal. I use it often. And it is not that expensive. A good fireman can burn almost any type of coal. It takes skill to fire coal. The only time hot cinders are a fire hazard is in area's of very dry weather like out west, or if we have a very dry time here like in Aug. Which lately has not been happening. While converting to oil makes life a little easier on planning trips away from home rails, coal is still better and hotter when the fireman knows what he is doing. If you have your air right, you don't get any soot like you do with oil either. If your atomization on oil is not set right, it can even be explosive in the firebox. Oil fires can be blown out more easily, and if you can't tell, I am highly biased for coal the way it was meant to be. Besides as a non profit with in reason the EPA don't have much to say to you on the actual burning of coal. No offense to Mr. President but what you learned out west does not completely apply here because we have a totally different climate and political outlook. I wish you luck getting her running again some day. And I am glad to see you are trying to make repairs right this time. back when i worked on her in the 80's things were sure different. I don't remember if the crack was there or not, but I think it was.

      The ring rail being clean doesn’t have much to do with it. The rollers were worn down from years upon years of hanging up, dragging, and generally not being looked after
