Mayner Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 I love this clip,and by God if you were in a loco mid train,having yourwindow closed would be the order of the day. and your own oxygen supply!!! On some routes train crews are issued with gas masks and mines self rescue equipment. Watch what happens around 2.02 this tunnel is pressurised to make sure there is enough air for the locos. There was an incident in this tunnel a few years ago where a passenger train stalled and started slipping backwards although the crew and train manager thought they were moving forward:(. http://www.taic.org.nz/ReportsandSafetyRecs/RailReports/tabid/85/ctl/Detail/mid/483/InvNumber/2004-109/Page/9/language/en-NZ/Default.aspx?SkinSrc=[G]skins%2ftaicRail%2fskin_rail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If people are going to use the rails as park benches, then you may have some way to go before you address the more esoteric environmental issues...?

With the amount of unburnt fuel that is dispersed in these situations, one wonders about the potential for a fuel/air explosion... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zf7m7hN5Szc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but I once went to Oxford on a Voyager that smoked as much as any steamer that I've ever been behind.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
