It they made too much smoke the ladies would call and complain about the smoke and cinders getting their clean laundry (hanging on the closeline) dirty. When pulling into a yard wouldn't someone notice a loco making this much smoke and bad order it? Reply Edit Join our Community! Our community is FREE to join.
