First engineer is to complete an inspection of the train coaches (Section C). After inspection of coaches are complete begin "Startup" procedures. 2. Second Engineer is to complete the track walk/inspection (Section D). After track walk/inspection is complete begin "Daily Startup" procedures. 3. Third engineer is to complete "Morning Fire-up" procedure (Section A), an engine inspection (Section E), and fueling procedure (Section B). After engine inspection is complete and waiting on engine to gain steam pressure begin "Daily Startup" procedures. A. [Firing the Engine in the Morning] 1. Disconnect both battery chargers (G-16), and turn on the train's main breaker (G-13) 2. The boilers should be blown down each day before lighting a fire in the boiler. The boiler should be blown down using bottom blow down valves (E-4). These valves are operated with a handle found in the toolbox under the engineer\'s seat. The main objective of this is to blow sediment out that may have collected during the previous day and overnight. Be careful not to blow too much water out. Open each blow down for 5-10 seconds depending on how milky the water looks. Watch the water glass while doing blow down to monitor water level in boiler. Next, take the blow down wrench to the front blow down (A-35) and "knock" the blow down open. Leave open for 5-10 seconds to allow sediment and sludge to flow out of boiler. 3. Check water level in sight glass (D-11) if no water is visible in sight glass move to "Adding water to boiler with no steam pressure". 4. Turn all propane tanks on by opening propane tank shutoff valves (G-1) by turning counterclockwise until valve handle stops. 5. Make sure propane throttle (D-23) is closed off tightly (pulled towards you). 6. Open propane emergency shut off (G-7) on front of tender. 7. Open pilot light valve (E-5). 8. Open fire door (E-2). 9. Light propane torch and move in a sweeping motion at the bottom of the fire box to check for propane pockets that could be in the fire box. 10. With torch lit, and pointed towards the pilot orifice, turn the pilot light key switch (E-26) clockwise to lite the pilot light. While holding the key in the bypass position, close the firebox door, and slowly start to open the main burner throttle valve (D-23). Once main burner is lit, release the key switch. 11. Open the tank heater valve (D-32) to "drain the header" of condensate. 12. After all condensate is evacuated, turn on the main blower valve (D-29) and secondary blower valve (D-31). Turn second blower valve off when boiler reaches 40psi on gauge (D-4) **[CAUTION: Never attempt to turn burner pressure over 5psi until blower is turned on.]** **[Blower pressure must be at 30psi to turn burner past 5psi]** [ ] B. [Fueling] (Face shield and rubber gloves must be worn while fueling propane tanks) 1. Verify the propane burner in the engine is out and extinguished. 2. Pull out the quick shut off palm button on fill station (J-5), and lift the emergency shut off valve (J-4) into the open position and turn propane feed valve (J-3) counterclockwise to open. 3. Open the hose feed valve. 4. Start Propane pump motor with switch on front of hose reel cabinet (J-2) 5. Open hose reel cabinet door and pull hose out to the end of the tender. 6. Climb up to the top of tender. Flip open all tank lids, open the tank shut off valve (G-1), and remove yellow fill port cap (G-3). 7. Attach hose fill nozzle to tank fill port (G-3). Pay close attention so the fill nozzle isn't cross threaded on fill port and is screwed down tight. 8. Slowly open the fill nozzle and check for leaks on seal. 9. Open tank bleeder valve on side of tank (G-2) shut off valve until you can hear a hiss from the valve. 10. Once a stream of white liquid propane is coming out of bleeder valve, the tank is full. (80%) Shut off the fill nozzle and close the bleeder valve. 11. Repeat steps 7-9 for remaining tanks. 12. Replace all tank fill port caps and close over all propane tank lids. 13. Return hose inside of reel and shut off propane pump. Close hose reel cabinet. 14. Close hose feed valve (J-3) by turning clockwise until stops and press in emergency shut off palm button (J-5). C. [Daily Coach Inspection] 1. Inspect the couplers for wear and security (obvious damage or knuckles not locking) 2. Inspect Air hoses for presence and in good working order (Splits, cracks in hose. Also listen for bad glad hand seals) 3. Inspect coach seats, floor, side support tubes and roof for security and condition. Please note any graffiti and cover as found. 4. Inspect safety signage on coaches is present and secured. D. [Daily Track Inspection] 1. Inspect that track is gauged and banked properly (Noticeable changes. More in depth track inspection is on monthly inspection.) 2. Inspect track for ballast washout and shifting. If a problem is noticed, please alert Foremen 3. Inspect for loose spikes and splice plates 4. Inspect crossing gates for proper operation. If issues are found, please involve the electrical shop 5. Inspect trestle for obvious structure changes. 6. Inspection of all station entrance and exit gates and hardware, as well as all safety signs and perimeter fences. 7. Verify salt and chemical levels in the "Salt Shack" next to the water tower. Add salt as needed. If chemical level is below 1/3^rd^ in drum notify full time maintenance. E. [Daily Engine & Tender Inspection] 1. Inspect brake shoes for security and proper operation. Including cotter pins, brake pins, loose brake shoes, loose and missing set screws, loose safety chain. 2. Inspect air system for leakage and for proper operation. 3. Verify Fire extinguishers are present and charged 4. Inspect drive wheels and pony wheels for worn flanges and worn tread. 5. Inspect propane system for leaks and proper safety system operation. If a leak is detected or the safety shut off does not work as it should, please turn off propane tanks and feed immediately, and inform foreman. 6. Inspect firebox draft controls, water injectors, and air compressor lubrication for proper operation. 7. Inspect seat covers and other upholstery for tears and rips. Fix when found 8. Inspect sight glass blow down for proper operation. 9. Fill propane tanks to proper level (80%). (See "Fueling" for more info) [EARLY SHIFT PROCEDURES] [Below is for "inspection shifts" (6am- 2:30pm) & "regular shifts" (9am-2:30pm)] There are 3 sections to the train's "daily startup" procedures, and they are Lubrication, cleaning, and polishing of the train. Each of the three engineers scheduled have specific tasks that need to be accomplished that are assigned to them. After the assigned tasks are completed [ALL] the engineers are to help with daily cleaning or polishing of the train. Cleaning and polishing of the train is completed by a schedule set by the day of the week. No engineer should be completing the same tasks below every day to ensure that everyone is trained and knowledgeable on all parts of the train's startup procedures. The tasks prior to the train leaving the engine house are to be divided among the 3 engineers as follows: 1. First engineer is to complete the red oil lubrication points. (See points of lubrication below) 2. Second engineer is to complete the black oil lubrication points. (See points of lubrication below) and check the level of sand in the dome. 3. The third engineer is to complete the grease points. (See points of lubrication below) [CLEANING AND POLISHING] As mentioned above, as a part of the train's daily startup, the train is to be clean and polished every day in coordination with the train's cleaning and polishing schedule below. The items listed on the schedule below are to be completed daily after lubrication points are completed regardless of the current condition. Blue: Cleaning Red: Polish **[Monday:]** Back side of boiler (In Cab). **[Tuesday:]** Domes and bell, engine wheels and fenders. **[Wednesday:]** Brass bands around running boards, injector water pipes. **[Thursday:]** Coach floors/seats, engine wheels and fenders. **[Friday:]** Back side of boiler (In Cab), Rail on top of boiler. **[Saturday:]** Brass Bands around running boards, injector water pipes. Engine wheels and fenders. **[Sunday:]** Brass bands over top of boiler, flag stands, and train number plate. [POINTS OF LUBRICATION ] One major reason for the long life of our two steam engines and their\ excellent mechanical condition is the consistent and proper lubrication of their\ parts. There are literally dozens of lubrication points that need attention each\ morning. This section of the manual will identify exact locations of lubrication\ points and the type of oil needed for each point. Blue grease and three types of\ lubrication oil are used on the train: Cylinder oil, Red 90W, and Journal Guard.

Filling the hydrostatic lubricator (D-12) a. close lubricator steam valve (E-10) b. open lubricator drain (E-8) c. remove fill plug (E-9). Water will begin to drain through the lubricator drain and onto the floor. d. when water has drained completely, close drain valve (E-8) e. fill the lubricator using the cylinder oil can, found on the cab floor under water column. f. replace lubricator fill plug (E-9) g. open lubricator steam valve (E-10) h. while oil can is still in hand, fill mechanical lubricator (B-18). Simply remove lubricator cap and fill until ½ inch from lid. i. refill can before putting away. Fill only with steam cylinder oil. 1. Filling journal boxes (Use journal guard oil only. Performed once a week) j. raise lid on journal box (H-1) k. make sure journal pad is touching bottom of axle. (If it is not, use journal probe (H-3) to shove pad against axle.) l. fill box with oil. (Approximately 1" from lip of box) m. close lid and repeat process for each journal box on entire train, including tender car. (8 journal boxes/car) 2. Filling and adjusting of crosshead drip oiler (B-28) (A-21) n. push top fill-hole cover to the side and fill with red oil through this hole. o. close the fill-hole cover and refill every 2 hours during operation. p. the drip oiler is started by pulling up on the lever at the top. The flow of oil can be regulated using the regulator nut just below the lever. Turning the nut clockwise decreases the flow of oil\--counterclockwise increases the flow of oil. q. For proper lubrication, the drip oiler should be adjusted so that 1 drop of drops every 10 seconds. This can be verified by the sight glass located below the drip oiler reservoir when the drip oiler is in the on position. NOTE: the drip oiler should not be started in the morning until the train is ready to leave the engine house. 3. Filling the Mechanical Lubricator r. Remove cap from the top of mechanical lubricator, open ball valve on the side of lubricator. s. Fill lubricator with Black Oil until oil runs out of the ball valve. t. Once oil is running out [Stop Filling], then close ball valve and replace cap on lubricator. [CHECKING SAND DOME] While doing initial morning lubrication, it is important to check the amount of sand in the sand dome (B-3). Additional sand can be found in the salt shack in the Rivertown station. [TOOL CRIB] While working there could be a possibility that you would need something from the tool crib (located in the maintenance warehouse). The tool crib is normally open during the daytime, but during PM shifts the 800 unit may have to let you in the crib. If you need an item from the crib and it is not open, you can simply call communications (5920/5925) and tell base you need 800 let you into the tool crib, and the 800 unit will come let you in when they are available. The following items and many more can be found in the crib: - Brass Polish (Aisle 14) - Graphite (Aisle 1) - Gloves (Aisle 3) - Grease (Aisle 13) - Brake Cleaner (Aisle 7) - Floor Dry (Located Behind Warehouse) - Diapers or Absorbent Pads - Grease Guns (Aisle 7) - Grease Gun Hoses (Aisle 7) - Pipe/fittings (Aisle 14) \*\*Schedule 80 pipe is used for all steam applications\*\* - Water Sight Glass/gaskets (Aisle 14) The following items can be found in the Bolt Bin located next to the crib: - Nuts & Bolts - Cotter Pins - Grease Fittings - Grease Gun Tips - Taps [PUTTING A FIRE IN THE BOILER] \***Always check water level in boiler before lighting burner.** Below is only after daily PM is completed. \*\*During Winterfest operation make sure to start the generator prior to firing boiler. For more information on starting the generator see "Generator Startup" section. 1. Ensure all propane tanks on tender are turned on by checking that the tank shutoff valve (G-1) is in the on position by turning counterclockwise. 2. Check main burner throttle (D-23) to be sure it is closed off tightly (pulled towards you). 3. Open propane shut off on front of tender (G-7). 4. Open pilot light valve (E-5). 5. Open fire door (E-2). 6. Light propane torch and move in a sweeping motion at the bottom of the fire box to check for propane pockets that could be in the fire box. 7. With torch lit, and pointed towards the pilot orifice, turn on the solenoid bypass key (E-26) to lite the pilot light. 8. While remaining hold of the key in the bypass position, close the firebox door, and slowly start to open the main burner throttle valve (D-23). Once main burner is lit, release the key switch. 9. Open the tank heater valve (D-32) in cab to "drain the header" of condensate. 10. After all condensate is evacuated, turn on the blower valve (D-29) and the 2^nd^ blower valve (D-31). **[CAUTION: Never attempt to turn burner pressure over 5psi until blower is turned on.]** **[Blower must be at 30psi to turn burner past 5psi]** [PROPANE GENERATOR] Both engines are equipped with a propane generator, this will run during Winterfest operation to power the lights on the coaches. To Start Up Generator: 1. Open ball valve on rear of propane header (K-2). 2. Remove cover panel from generator and hold toggle switch (K-1) in the Stop/Prime position until the red light illuminates on the switch. 3. Push and hold the start position on the toggle switch for no more than 10 seconds or until the engine starts. This may take multiple attempts to start since propane has been shut off to the unit if the generator does not start simply repeat steps 2 & 3. 4. After the engine is running replace the cover panel on the generator. 1. Remove cover panel from generator, push and hold toggle switch (K-1) in the Stop/Prime position until engine stops. 2. Close generator propane feed valve (K-2). [**\ **STARTING THE AIR COMPRESSOR] 1. Slowly open the air compressor steam valve (D-28) until the air compressor starts moving slowly. 2. Open hydrostatic lubricator feed adjustment (D-13) 1/4 turn counterclockwise. 3. After the reservoir pressure gauge (D-5) is reading 20-40 psi, continue to open the air compressor steam valve until appropriate speed is achieved. (Around 1 and half turns open on valve) 4. When the drain line does not have any more condensate flowing from it, close the 2 air pump drains (A-3). 5. Once the reservoir is filled, the compressor will shut off automatically. [DRAINING THE SURGE TANK\ ] 1. This procedure should be done each morning and any time that the feed water pump pressure gauge (D-10) acts erratically. 2. Close the tank line shut-off valve (B-16) counterclockwise 1/4 turn. [ ] 3. Open tank drain (B-15) clockwise 1/4 turn. 4. Open tank vent (B-14) 5. When the tank is completely drained, close the tank vent (B-14). 6. Close the tank drain (B-15). 7. Slowly open tank line shut-off valve (B-16). [ADDING WATER TO A COLD BOILER] If boiler is cold and no water is visible in sight glass water will have to be added to boiler using a garden hose or city water connection. \*ONLY WHEN NO STEAM PRESSURE IS IN BOILER\* If no water is visible in sight glass during operation see emergency procedures. 1. Ensure that fireman side injector shutoff valve is open. (A-2) 2. Remove pipe cap from below the fireman seat in cab and place on the injector overflow pipe (A-32). 3. Open the boiler fill valve (A-6) and connect the garden hose to the left of valve. 4. Turn on water, keep an eye on the water level in sight glass. Do not fill past ½ in sight glass with city water. 5. After proper water level is achieved turn off the water connection, close boiler fill valve (A-6), and remove pipe cap from injector overflow pipe (A-32). Then place cap back underneath of fireman seat. [COUPLING COACHES TO ENGINE] 1. Make sure that main burner pressure is not more than 10psi (D-2; D-8). If necessary, reduce pressure using propane burner throttle (D-23). 2. Before backing the engine and tender toward the coaches, check to make sure that the jaws of the couplers are open (H-6) and that the couplers are center of the tender and coach. 3. The Engineer should pull the engine forward to the switch first to expel as much condensate out of the steam chest as possible. 4. The 3^rd^ man on rotation should stand off to the side, but near the front of the first coach, and signal the engineer to begin backing. 5. The fireman should then begin ringing the bell while moving backwards into the engine house. 6. The Engineer should release the independent brake control valve (D-15). Move the reverse lever (D- 17) to the reverse position and slowly open throttle. If braking is needed to slow the engine, pull the independent brake control valve to the right (D-15). Push to left to release brake. When coupling is made, apply the brake on full. 7. After the couplers are connected, the 3^rd^ man should tell the engineer to stretch the engine. 8. The engineer will then put reverse lever (D-17) into the forward position and release the independent brake (D-15). Roll the engine forward with the throttle to make sure the couplers have a good connection. After the stop signal is given, the engineer will close the throttle, apply the independent brake, and put the reverse lever in the center position. Hold both hands out the window and give the 3^rd^ man the clear signal. 9. The 3^rd^ Man will then connect air hoses (H-7). 10. Attach sound cables to receptacles (H-9). 11. Turn on angle cock (H-8) done by lifting handle and turning 1/4 turn. 12. Air compressor (A-38) will then charge brake lines on entire train. [TRAINS' FIRST CYLCE OF THE DAY] 1. Before pulling out of engine house, turn on drip oilers (B-28; A-21). Close steam chest petcocks (A-22; B-20). 2. Release brake (D-16) and put reverse lever in forward. Bump out throttle until train starts rolling 3. The fireman should ring the bell until out of the engine house 4. When front of engine is beyond engine house, pull back on the cylinder cock lever (D-18) to open cylinder cocks and drain condensate. (Cylinder cock should remain open until train reaches station.) 5. Proceed slowly through the switches (main line switch lamp should be red). When braking after coaches and tender are coupled, use the automatic brake control valve (D-16) for braking of entire train. 6. Once the train passes main line switch, other engineers should change switch to main track (I-10). 7. As the train begins test run, other engineers should apply graphokote to track as needed. 8. While proceeding slowly around the track, watch for debris or obstructions on the track. Also, listen for any strange sounds from the track or train. 9. When coming into the station, apply automatic brake valve (D-16) to stop with the edge of the cow catcher between the orange RR tie near the water tower. The yellow arrow on the salt shed can be used as well. 10. After train stops, apply the independent brake valve (D-15), and release the automatic brake (D-16). Fill the tender with water, and open Bottom Tri-Cock (E-15). Then slightly crack open continuous blowdown valve (E-16) by turning counterclockwise. [TRAIN OPERATION POSITIONS] A. Operating Positions and General Duties 1. Engineer - Watch for debris and obstructions on track. - Periodically check water level in boiler (be sure engine is level when checking water level). Watch when starting engine that all guests are seated on train and off station platform. - Make sure engine does not run out of propane or water. - Watch switch track signals to ensure proper position on each run. - Watch block signals to be sure of position of other train. - Grease and oil train every two hours during operation. - Periodically run safety check on engine. - Operate whistle when starting and at crossings. 1. Fireman - Regulates amount of fire to keep up proper amount of steam. - Keep proper amount of water in boiler. - Add water or fuel to storage tanks as needed. - Watch other side of track for objects. - Watch for conductor \"High Ball\" signal and notify engineer to start the ride. - Watch coaches when starting to ensure guests\' safety. - Periodically check levels of fuel and water in storage tanks. - Help engineer in any way necessary. - Be ready and able to take over engineer\'s position if it ever becomes necessary. 3. Third Engineer (or relief engineer) - Take care of any duties or tasks at engine house as assigned on Task Sheet located on white board in engine house. - Provide assistance to engineer and fireman whenever necessary. - Assist in closing and/or opening procedures. [GENERAL OPERATION OF THE TRAIN] It is important to maintain good communications between the engineers and the conductors. The conductors will be monitoring and regulating the guests while boarding and unloading. Once boarding is complete, and the conductors give \"high ball\", the engineers and fireman should give a final visual check of the train and station. Make sure that all guests are seated and that the platform is clear. 1. Give two short whistle blasts before moving train out of the station. 2. Pull out of station slowly, avoid excessive spinning of drive wheels. Gradually increase speed until reaching normal operating speed 3. When approaching any crossing, it is important to give a warning signal. This is done with two long whistle blasts, one short then one more long blast. The crossings needing a warning signal are: - Crossing at White Water Canyon just past the trestle. - Service road crossing under Soak City pedestrian bridge. (To and From Station) - In front of engine house. 4. When navigating the turn behind the car shed, proceed slowly. It will take practice to develop a feel for the speed on this turn. It is also necessary to keep up enough momentum to handle the uphill grade after the turn. When the track is wet it may be necessary to apply sand to this graded stretch. 5. While slowly entering the station at Soak City, the fireman will begin ringing the bell. Bring the train to a stop with the edge of the cow catcher between the orange RR ties. Unloading and boarding is done in the same manner as in the Rivertown station. Departure from the station should be done in the same way also. 6. Once the engine passes under the Soak City pedestrian bridge, the throttle can be closed completely, and the train will coast the rest of the way to the Rivertown station. Apply brakes when needed. 7. When passing over the main line switch, it is important to *[proceed very slowly]*. After passing the switch, give one long whistle blast to alert station of arrival. The Fireman will ring bell through entire station. Stop the engine with the edge of the cow catcher between the orange RR tie near the water tower. The yellow arrow on the salt shed can be used as well. 1. Open injector water valve (D-24) completely. 2. Open injector steam valve (D-27) completely. A distant flowing water sound will signal that the injector has started. 3. Observe the injector overflow pipe (A-32). If water is flowing out of this pipe, begin slowly closing injector water valve (D-24) until overflowing water stops. 4. When the water level reaches the half way point in the water glass, stop injector. The stop injector, first close injector steam valve (D-27) then close injector water valve (D-24). The feed water pump usually provides the proper amount of water to the boiler for operation. On low attendance days or when engine does not have to work as hard, the feed water pump may pump more water into the boiler than is needed, resulting in high water. By increasing the continuous blow down, the problem may be rectified. If high water persists, the feed water pump bypass valve (D-25) may be opened for short periods of time and water will return to tender instead of boiler. This valve should only be left open for approximately 1/4 length of the track at a time and should be closed several hundred feet before entering the station and must remain closed while engine is not moving. Reducing the water level in these gradual steps takes time, but it is necessary. When the feed Water pump bypass is open, the water pre-heat coil in the smoke box stops passing water. The coil tubing then heats up quickly and can be damaged if left empty for too long. [APPLYING SAND TO WET RAIL] If rail becomes slippery due to rain or moisture: 1. Pull the sand release rod (D-14) in and out 3 times. 2. Quickly open and close sander valve (D-26). (Must be done in an off and on fashion to avoid using too much air and thus possibly setting the brakes.) 3. These 2 steps should be repeated until traction is regained. At the beginning of the evening when the daylight is going down, turn on the headlight and cab light switch at the top of the cab on the fireman side of the engine. If the fire goes out from the electrical surge on the bulb, follow the lighting of the burner process and restart the engine. [CLOSING PROCEDURES] Procedures for closing actually begin with the start of the final run of the day. The following is a breakdown of duties for each of the three engineer/operators at closing. (Engineer, Fireman, Third Engineer) 1. Duties of the Engineer (closing) - Shut off continuous blow down (E-16, E-15) valve clockwise sometime during last run. - On last trip past engine house, tell the third engineer at the engine house that this is indeed the last trip of the night. - If there is no third engineer, look out the window of the cab and make sure the track inside the engine house is clear. - If track is wet, engineer should put down sand on track from main line switch to the final turn before entering station. (This section of track will be up-hill when backing toward engine house.) - As the fireman leaves the cab to clear station and go to the rear of train, the engineer assumes the fireman\'s duties in the cab (monitoring water level and steam pressure). - Put the reverse lever (D-17) or \"Johnson Bar\" in the reverse position. - After receiving the backup signal from the fireman at the rear of the train, give 3 short whistle blasts and begin ringing the bell. Bell should ring until engine is clear of the station. Begin backing slowly, keeping an eye toward the rear, watching for any signals from the fireman during the entire backing maneuver. - Stop the engine when the 3^rd^ engineer gives you the stop signal to cut the coaches off. Use the automatic brake control valve (D-16) to stop and put the handle into the \"Emergency\" position. This will remove all of the air from the brake line to prevent damage to the rubber gasket in the air hose connection when engine and cars are separated. - After uncoupling and receiving the go ahead signal, move reverse lever (D-17) to the forward position, release the automatic brake control valve (D-16). Slowly pull forward and spot the engine under the ceiling vent. The arrow on wall will be in the center of the window of the cab. - Apply the Independent Brake Control Valve (D-15) and put the Reverse Lever (D-17) in the center position. - Pull back cylinder cock lever (D-18). **[NOTE]**: [all above mentioned duties should be done before Engineer leaves seat.] 2. Duties of the Fireman (closing) - Fireman should blow down the water column (E-6) one last time near the end of the last run of the night. - Fill the Tender with water - Go to the rear of the train for backing. Make sure all coaches are empty and that all guests are out of the station. - When ready, signal the engineer (with flashlight) to begin backing - Face rear and use flashlight to make sure no one is on track. If someone is on track, stop train with emergency brake. - When approaching the main line switch, make sure the switch lamp is giving the red signal. If not, signal the engineer to stop the train. Change the main line switch. Get back on the train and signal the engineer to continue backing. - When approaching the next switch, the color of the switch lamp will indicate which side of the engine house you are in line for. If the lamp is showing red, you are in line for the right side of the engine house (as seen from the rear of the train). If green, you are in line for the left side. - Ride the train, in the rear, all the way through the engine house until the train stops. (Do not jump off the train while it is still moving!!) - Close the large doors at the rear of the engine house - Assist Engineer and third Engineer in completing items on shutdown check list. 3. Duties of the Third Engineer (relief engineer stationed in engine house) [If third engineer is not in or available, the full time Mechanic takes on these duties. ] - Clear the path for the train in engine house and car shed before last run of the night. - After train passes main line switch on last run of the night, change main line switch over and check secondary switch to make sure it is in line for proper side of the engine house, - As train backs toward engine house, signal engineer with a flashlight that all is clear for the train to come back. - Uncoupling Tender from Coaches a. After train is backed in and stopped on yellow mark, remind engineer to put the automatic brake control valve (D-16) in the \"Emergency\" position if not yet done. b. Once the air is completely evacuated from system, close the Angle Cock (H-8) on rear of tender by pulling up handle and pushing counterclockwise 1/4 turn. c. Disconnect the three sound cables from receptacles (H-9). d. To unlatch coupler, use the coupler hook (H-10) to pull out coupler latch (H-5). Hold in this position and signal with flashlight to engineer to pull engine and tender forward into engine house. e. After Tender and first car are separated, go toward front of engine and help engineer spot the engine under the ceiling vent. f. Assist Engineer and Fireman in completing items on the shutdown checklist. From this point, all three engineer/operators should work together to complete all items on Shutdown Check List (figure K) found on clip board located on left side of cab. 1. After Shutdown list is complete: - Make sure all Tools are put away - Close all Engine house doors. Make sure rear man door is locked - Turn off Lights and Lock Front man door on your way out for the night. [EMERGENCY PROCEDURES] 1. If water is low in the boiler and both injectors fail to work, proceed as follows: 1. Check to make sure that the left and right injector shut-off valves are open. (A-2; B-5) 2. If valves are open, open water valve (D-24) and allow water to flow through injector and out of overflow pipe (A-32) for one to two minutes to help cool injector. 3. If cooling doesn\'t get injectors working and water level in boiler goes below an acceptable level, shut ride down, extinguish the fire and call in \'29 mechanical\", give the train\'s location and tell whether it is with or without people. 4. If **[NO WATER]** is visible in water glass: Immediately shutdown engine and extinguish fire. **[DO NOT]** attempt to add water to the boiler. This may cause an explosion!! 5. Evacuate guests and call in \"29 mechanical\". 2. The boiler fire should be extinguished immediately by shutting off the propane stop cock (G-7) on the front of the tender if: 6. No water is visible in the water glass (D-11). 7. The propane tank safety valve opens. 8. Any type of gas leak develops beyond the stop cock (G-7). \* \*If a gas leak develops before the stop cock, all six propane tank shut off valves (G-1) must be closed individually. \* \*In each of these situations the train should be evacuated, and the ride should be called in \"29 mechanical\". Give the train\'s location and tell whether it is with or without people. Specify that there is a gas leak when appropriate. 3. If Crosshead Feed Water Pump Fails to Work 9. Make sure pump bypass valve is closed (D-25). 10. Drain the surge tank (B-51). 11. If pump feels hot, close the continuous blow down valve (D-16) for one-two trips around. 12. Open pet cock on the side of the pump (B-52) and allow water to run until cool. 13. Start using injectors and call in \"97 mechanical" 4. The Brake System of an Individual Coach Locks \*If this happens, that individual coach\'s brake system can be isolated by doing the following: 1. Close the triple valve shut-off valve. 2. Open the air reservoir drain to bleed the air pressure and release the individual coach\'s brakes. 3. The brakes will now be released for this coach. All other brakes will remain operational. 5. If Air Hose Bursts \*If an air hose bursts, all brakes on entire train will be applied. To replace the air hose, proceed as follows: 14. Move automatic brake valve (D-16) all the way to the right. This is the Emergency position, and the air compressor will stop running. 15. Take wrenches and air hoses out of tender (G-12). 16. Disconnect air hose, hold pipe in angle cock with pipe wrench. Unscrew air hose with adjustable wrench. 17. Screw on new hose and tighten, being sure to line up connections properly. 18. Apply independent brake valve (D-15) this will cause air compressor to recharge brake lines and release brakes. Operation may resume. 6. If The Air Compressor (A-38) Stops \*If it stops for no apparent reason the following can be done to attempt restart it. (Once air pressure gets low enough, brakes will apply themselves so don\'t reload once you reach next station): 1. Make sure compressor steam valve is open (D-28). 2. Move automatic brake (D-16) into the emergency position (All the way to the right) then release. 3. Open air reservoir drain (A-18) on engine for a few seconds and close. 4. Open pet cock on compressor governor (A-4) and close. 5. One or a combination of these steps should restart compressor. 6. If compressor cannot be restarted and the brakes apply themselves call the ride in \"29 mechanical\". 7. If Air Compressor Seems to be Pumping More than Normal Check the Following: 19. Sander valve (D-26) to make sure it is closed. 20. Air hoses and connections for leaks. If connections on air hoses are leaking, follow these steps: - Move automatic brake valve (D-16) to emergency position. - Disconnect air hoses. - Inspect connector gaskets. - Replace cut or damaged gasket using a screwdriver. (New gaskets are stored in battery box at rear of tender.) - Reconnect air hose. - Disengage the automatic brake valve (D-16). 8. If Sander Ever Fails to Work 21. Check the sand in the dome (B-3). 22. Peck on the sand pipes (A-16) to knock out clumps of sand. 23. Hold hand over end of pipe (A-16) and have the other engineer turn the sander on and off a few times. \* \*NOTE: If the train ever has to be stopped on the hill and it is necessary to back up to get a start, be sure to alert the conductor on the back to watch the track. 9. If the Water Glass (D-11) Ever Breaks 24. Close the water column valves (E-7) if possible. If not possible, *[SHUT OFF THE BURNER]* (D-23). Call the train in \"2-9 mechanical\". Give the train\'s location and tell whether it is with or without people. If you can close the water column shut off valves, continue to the next station, then call the train in "2-9 Mechanical." Assist full time maintenance with the replacement of the glass and seals. 10. If the automatic blower stops working 25. Close the ball valve to the automatic blower assembly (D-29). 26. Open the manual blower valve or 2^nd^ blower valve (D-31) until the blower gauge reads 35psi 11. If the fusible plug in the boiler ever melts out 27. Shut off the gas throttle (D-23) immediately. 28. Call the train in \"29 mechanical\" and give the train\'s location and tell whether it is with or without people. The boiler should not be refired until inspected by full time maintenance. 12. If safety valves (B-2) ever fail and steam pressure rises to 200 psi 29. Shut off the burner and shutdown the engine. Call the train in \"29 mechanical\" and give the train\'s location and tell whether it is with or without people. 13. Procedures for a \"Hot Box\" (overheated bearing on a coach) 30. Proceed to the next station and unload the guests. Call the train in \"29 mechanical\". [RIDE CONTROLS & DIAGRAMS] A. [Left Side (Fireman) of Locomotive] 1. Bell Yoke 2.
