I see many coal trains on the Mopac (UP) passing through St. Louis, MO. <br /> <br />I have seen coal burning in the firebox of SLSW 1630 at the Illinois Railway Museum and in N&W 1218 at the NRHS convention back in 1990. <br /> <br />I have operated coal burning Live Steam locomotives where the engineer is also the fireman (12 inch gauge). <br /> <br />And yes, I have a bucket of coal for use on my model railroad. <br /> <br />I have never seen it used for cooking or heating in homes like was done many years ago. <br /> <br />Dale B. <br /> <br />
