Re: [BRHSlist] Tender Sprinkling Device

["Ralph W. Brown, Jr." <cbq682@g...>]

What does it mean to "sprinkle crossings"?

As a part of the evidence summary a portion of the fireman's statement was 
that as the train approached the point of derailment he had just opened a valve 
on the tender which was used to release water to sprinkle crossings, after he 
opened the valve he turned around to check to see if the water was 
running.....
