I remember reading a story in a 60 year old issue of Railroad magazine about using the cylinders for air compressors.A live steam engine was hauling a dead loco that didn't even have water in the boiler.The engineer on the dead loco wanted to put it on a siding the live engine couldn't get into without making a flying switch.So the engineer/salesman on the dead loco knew a way to use the cylinders as air compressors and filled the boiler with compressed air as the live engine was pulling.When they got to the siding,the engineer on dead engine suprized everyone by using the boiler of compressed air to propel the engine into the siding.Would opening the water drain cocks on a dead engine let air into cylinders?
