Amount of Sand a typical Locomotive Carries
Posted by UP1989 on Monday, November 1, 2010 11:07 PM

Just wondering the amount of sand a typical locomotive capacity is.

New to forum, do not know if this has been asked before.

Thanks

It can vary, but Conrail locomotives typically had 60 cu. ft., 30 front and 30 rear.
