Willy- <br /> <br />Do you repaint your car when it gets dirty??? <br /> <br />Railroads wash locomotives at most major terminals when they are fueled, serviced or inspected. Certain parts of locomotives must be kept clean by FRA regulation and company rules to avoid the dangers of slipping and falling on spilled fuel or oil. As the numbers of terminals get smaller, the locomotives are not washed as often. <br /> <br />Railroads repaint either when they deem the locomotive needs paint or when it changes railroads(more frequent)... <br /> <br />LC
