Have any of you real railroaders had trouble with plugged or partially plugged nettings, that may, or could force You to a stop?. How did you correct the problem short term? I found a book that belonged to my step father, and it was his own personal record when he was firing Ps-4's for the Southern Railway from Washington D.C. south to N.C. One of his entries, was concerning a partially plugged netting, and how it forced them to a stop several times. Talked about how he and the engineer overreacting, as neither one of them knew quite what to do, as both were young an inexperienced. The entry gets to water stained, and what they did to correct the problem isn't ledgable at all. Hope you read this Hot Water, as you probably experienced something like this back in the day with your vast experiences of firing steam locomotives.
