Re: [CBQ] Re: Boiler Water Or Diesel Fuel?

That's for sure.  I know of one eastern railroad which had removed their steam loco facilities.  They had pumped water from deep in the ground, and were left with only a pipe where the well had been.  Shop forces soon discovered that pipe made a wonderful disposal for used lube oil filters.  Back then nobody thought twice about stuff like that.

When I was hostling in Alliance, diesel fuel sprays and over-fills like that were quite common. Later I saw the same thing in Laurel. Amazing what went on before there was an EPA. A consist came into Alliance and was immediately fueled as normal. As we finished up the rhse foreman came rushing out and said, "You didn't fuel the xxx did you?" Of course we had. Turns out it needed a repair or flush of the fuel tank. So they opened the plug and drained 3000 gallons of diesel into the dirt.
