| Nota; En los ferrocarriles con buen mantenimiento; Una locomotora de vapor necesitaba agua aproximadamente cada cuatro horas y una vez al día tenía que ser llevada al taller para obtener carbón, ademas ser engrasada e inspeccionada y limpiar su fuego. Una locomotora de reemplazo sería proporcionada a tres cambio de turnos de empleos, usando un equipo (de "explorador" o "pastor") que consiste en sólo un ingeniero y un Fogonero, Este equipo solo intercambiaban las locomotoras (Este fue un trabajo codiciado por los trabajadores con alta veteranía). En comparación, las locomotoras de diésel, podían ir durante días en un tanque de combustible y rutinariamente iban a la taller una vez a la semana para la inspección y el mantenimiento. | Note; On railroads with good maintanace; A steam locomotive needed water about every four hours and once a day it had to be taken to the shop to get coal, be greased and inspected and have its fire cleaned. A replacement locomotive would be provided for three shift jobs using a "herder" or "scout" crew consisting of only an engineer and fireman, this team only exchanged the locomotives (This was a sought-after job by workers with high seniority). Diesels on the other hand; could go for days on a tank of fuel oil and routinely went to the shop once a week for inspection and servicing. |
