Lighting off an oil burning steam locomotive

[@ullar8217]

That's pretty cool, it's interesting to see the steam fed atomizers instead of blown oil burners. You only really see them on locomotives.

[@AhmadRamadhani-yt3kg]

Are oil-fueled steam locomotives more practical than coal-fired steam locomotives?

[@trenesdecolombiaPabloHiguita]

Yes they are

[@cookric]

Yes. Much more efficient.

[@Bud-uz1bw]

[@donvoll2580]

Good day So how many btu's is that? Thanks
or how much oil /hr?

You would have to look up the BTU’s, but generally consider 10gal per mile when operating.
