Gregg posted:Hot water says........Since you have never actually worked on, nor with, a steam locomotive, there is obviously no sense in discussing boiler pressures and injectors with you any more.
Really? I believe big Jim has run the 611 and I don't really care who's right or wrong on this discussion.
How is this relevant? Over the years, we have allowed many, many, many Pilot Engineers and/or Road Foreman of Engines to sit in the Engineer's seat and "run" 4449. However, they had NO CLUE what the Fireman's job was nor what he was doing!
Have you hotwater ever worked as an engineman for any railroad?? how about you Steve?? Every work a spare board for a number of years? Jim's probably forgotten more about railroading that the 2 of you put together.
Again, how is this relevant to the discussion?
Seems HW can insult just about anyone and eventually the thread gets deleted just like this will or at least this post.
Thank you.
But Hot Water--one of the most experienced firemen around--told you, and yet you refuse to believe him:
Really??
Again, thank you.
