[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by eastside Go back through the threads and you'll find another thread on boosters that I started. http://www.trains.com/community/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=23644 What I never got a good answer for was the first one. Why the locomotive designers routed exhaust to the extreme opposite of the locomotive, i.e. right next to the stack. That was a lot of extra pipe. [/quote] I was wondering the same thing. And while I sure don't ' know, I would guess it may have something more to do with distancing the booster working loop from the outlet to atmosphere, to prevent cold air form getting into the lines and possibly start a hammering condition? I've seen hammering in stationary boilers, and it's not a pretty condition. Just a guess though.
