    @bmomjian UP tells their train crews only to use the fire ext. to get out of danger, not to try and put the fire out. That’s the job for the fire department.

    @scobrown1 I don’t think I’d want to fight a fire in the engine compartment without firegear and SCBA. Seems like they would have designed a dump system that would dump all the cylinders at once into the engine room.

    How could they tell if the Alco was on fire through all that smoke?

    I wonder how many people died from going into a enclosed space filled with toxic smoke and spraying CO2 everywhere, because the big bosses told them to.

    Gee, you think the engineers were confused about the fire suppression systems? I was confused watching the video. At the end it eventually made sense. But really, it was a confusing design.

    @redmus1959 . More weird to see them not smoking while this is being filmed. There were ashtrays every where back in the day.. cause virtually every one smoked all the time.

    It’s pretty obvious that crew safety was not a concern back then. The company can replace a locomotive. They can’t replace a life. Now a days we stop and let it burn. The engine crew in the beginning of the film was exactly right to stop and get the hell off.

    Maybe they were hoping a cigarette would start a fire that they could practice putting out ;-)
