    Steam Locomotive Firebox Explosion on the Gettysburg Railroad near Gardners, Pennsylvania Leadership ViTS Meeting 6 September 2005 Bryan O’Connor, Chief Office of Safety and Mission Assurance Accident Timeline Place: Gettysburg Railroad near Gardners, PA Accident Date: June 16, 1995 Gettysburg 1278 @ Gettysburg Oct 1988 The Accident: • Steam locomotive 1278 with six passenger cars had completed two excursions and was preparing for a third and final excursion for the day. • During slow climb up moderate grade, the boiler exploded, seriously burning the engineer and two firemen. • . (2) Events Associated with Proximate Cause • Operators began climb with too little water in boiler • Water-level continued to drop and by the time the locomotive had crested the grade the crownsheet of boiler was not covered by water and failed due to thermal overstress. • Failure of crownsheet opened boiler to the firebox (atmosphere) and the water in boiler flashed into high pressure steam. • Steam exploded through firebox door into the locomotive cab, seriously burning the engineer (third degree burns over 65% of body) and two firemen. (3) Events Associated with Proximate Cause Approx. 175 psi This figure is exaggerated to show low water conditions, in locomotive 1278 the lowest gage cock was 3.25 inches above the highest point of the crownsheet and the water glass was 3.125 inches above the highest point of the crownsheet (4) Contributing Factors • Prior to operation the feed pump gauge had been removed. • Preparing to ascend grade first fireman shut off the feed pump to the boiler because a leaking check valve between the feed-pump and the boiler could potentially cause slippage on driving wheels.

  • Module BESTT MS1
    Module BESTT MS1 Marine Steam Boiler Types, Construction and Maintenance. Aim This unit introduces learners to the wide variety of fuels which may be encountered in steam launches and small steam ships operating on inland waterways or sheltered coastal waters. The range of types of boilers is explained. In each case, the benefits of each fuel type or boiler type are explored. The reasons for caution when conducting external work on old boilers are explained. INTRODUCTION Boiler types considered Horizontal Fire Tube boilers (including locomotive type) Vertical Fire Tube boilers Horizontal Drum Water Tube boilers Vertical Drum Water Tube boilers Single coil (or Flash) boilers Construction, design and general arrangements Heat transfer Cleaning Considerations for boiler choice and design Options for materials and insulations Boiler cladding materials The sheer variety of boiler types used in marine applications is wider than anything we will encounter for railway locomotives or in road steam applications. Although fire tube boilers from earliest days have been the norm for railway locomotives, water tube boilers could also very occasionally be found in locomotives. The well-known Sentinel shunters had water tube boilers a little bigger but otherwise similar to the company’s steam wagon boilers, and Sir Nigel Gresley on the LNER experimented with a ‘Yarrow’ type boiler but dropped the idea and fitted Britain’s only 4-6-4 express engine with a traditional loco boiler. For shipping, various forms of the classic marine multi-furnace fire tube ‘Scotch’ boiler was a norm to the last, and vertical fire tube types were a standard for small steam launches, but alongside these a huge range of highly efficient water tube types was under constant development resulting in many different configurations.

  • Steam Power Plant
    www.getmyuni.com Steam Power Plant A power plant is assembly of systems or subsystems to generate electricity, i.e., power with economy and requirements. The power plant itself must be useful economically and environmental friendly to the society. The present book is oriented to conventional as well as non-conventional energy generation. While the stress is on energy efficient system regards conventional power systems viz., to increase the system conversion efficiency the supreme goal is to develop, design, and manufacturer the non-conventional power generating systems in coming decades preferably after 2050 AD which are conducive to society as well as having feasible energy conversion efficiency and non-friendly to pollution, keeping in view the pollution act. The subject as a whole can be also stated as modern power plants for power viz electricity generation in 21st century. The word modern means pertaining to time. At present due to energy crisis the first goal is to conserve energy for future while the second step is todevelop alternative energy systems including direct energy conversion devices, with the devotion, dedication and determination remembering the phrase, “Delve and Delve Again till wade into”.

  • Steam Locomotive Firebox Explosion on the Gettysburg Railroad Near Gardners, Pennsylvania June 16, 1995
    PB96-917008 NTSB/SIR-96/05 NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION SAFETY BOARD WASHINGTON, DC 20594 SPECIAL INVESTIGATION REPORT STEAM LOCOMOTIVE FIREBOX EXPLOSION ON THE GETTYSBURG RAILROAD NEAR GARDNERS, PENNSYLVANIA JUNE 16, 1995 . Illlr 6768 Abstract: On June 16, 1995, the firebox crownsheet of Gettysburg Passenger Services, Inc., steam locomotive 1278 failed while the locomotive was pulling a six-car excursion train about 15 mph near Gardners, Pennsylvania. The failure resulted in an instantaneous release (explosion) of steam through the firebox door and into the locomotive cab, seriously burning the engineer and the two firemen. This accident illustrates the hazards that are always present in the operation of steam locomotives. The Safety Board is concerned that these hazards may be becoming more significant because Federal regulatory controls are outdated and because expertise in operating and maintaining steam locomotives is diminishing steadily. As a result of its investigation, the National Transportation Safety Board issued safety recommendations to the Federal Railroad Administration, the National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors, and the Tourist Railway Association, Inc. The National Transportation Safety Board is an independent Federal agency dedicated to promoting aviation, railroad, highway, marine, pipeline, and hazardous materials safety. Established in 1967, the agency is mandated by Congress through the Independent Safety Board Act of 1974 to investigate transportation accidents, determine the probable causes of the accidents, issue safety recommendations, study transportation safety issues, and evaluate the safety effectiveness of government agencies involved in transportation. The Safety Board makes public its actions and decisions through accident reports, safety studies, special investigation reports, safety recommendations, and statistical reviews.

  • LOCOMOTIVE NO. 40 Built by the AMERICAN LOCOMOTIVE COMPANY at Their Dunkirk (N.Y.) Works in August 1920, No. 40 Has Had a Long A
    The Valley Railroad Company 1 Railroad Avenue, PO Box 452, Essex, CT 06426 Phone: 860-767-0103 fax: 860-767-0104 LOCOMOTIVE NO. 40 Built by the AMERICAN LOCOMOTIVE COMPANY at their Dunkirk (N.Y.) works in August 1920, No. 40 has had a long and interesting career. It was one of an order for three identical units constructed for The Portland, Astoria & Pacific Railroad to haul train loads of logs and lumber. Unfortunately, the PA&P was never completed so the locomotives sat idle until they were sold to other railroads. No. 101 (our locomotive) was sold to the Minarets & Western Railway for similar service. When that railroad could not pay it’s debts, the locomotive was given to the Southern Pacific Railroad, which sold it to a used locomotive dealer which in turn sold it to The Aberdeen & Rockfish Railroad in North Carolina as their N0.40. On the A&R it pulled freight and passenger trains until about 1950 when it was retired and stored in their engine house. Here it remained until it was discovered by an employee of the Valley Railroad. It was purchased in 1977 and loaded onto flat cars for it’s trip to Essex and a new career pulling trainloads of tourists for the Essex Steam Train & Riverboat. No.40 is one of less than 200 steam locomotives in the United States which remain in operable condition. It burns about 2 tons of low sulfur coal for fuel each day and evaporates about 6000 gallons of water pulling a 400 ton train a total of 50 miles.
