wsherrick,The D&S locomotives are not banked overnight.  They are fired at a level they call hot standby.  In this mode, each locomotive burns 500 pounds of coal overnight.  They are perodically fired, but I do not know how often.  They are currently experimenting with wood pellet fuel for overnight firing.  Each locomotive is fired with 1000 pounds of wood pellets during overnight hot standby.  How much of the smoke emitted from the coal fire during this overnight hot standby phase are combustible volatiles?  Why is that combustible portion not being burned in the firebox?
