I am a Firefighter and tonight at fire training we were discussing electrical fires and in the topic there was a brief statement about locomotives. One our guys asked why would that be in the subject since these were diesel powered I then had to explain to them how these actually work but since I am only a novice I didnt get too deep in the topic. My question is this do any of you know if any Railroads have information or is willing to do a presentation on Railroad stuff like Locomotives and how to deal with them in a accident situation or dealing with fires and such. I ask this because in all the trainingg we do this is not covered at all and I think it is important would hate to have some untrained person get hurt because they didnt know. Is this something sovered in the operation lifesaver program? Thanks for the information guys and as we say in the Fire service "See you on the roof"
