About the tunnels: I was once in a worktrain, on an open platform of a stone/gravel wagon pretty far from the engine. It was a sunny day so i had no headlight.The wagons lights and they also blocked the light from the engine. We came to a tunnel and I had newer been to a train tunnel before. All of a sudden complete darkness. I could only stand still, hold on the railing and think to myself: dont wave your arms as the walls are close. The damn tunnel was about 5 km (3 miles) long and at the speed of 40 km/h the complete darknes seemed to last forever. What an experience!

2:07:20 Now I don't know if comercial acetylene gas is still made this way. But you take calcium carbide and mix it with water. This produces acetylene gas and powdered lime (Calcium hydroxide). It's what the old carbide lamps used to run on back in the day. Edit: I looked it up and most comercial acetylene is now produced as a partial combustion of methane as oil is an easier source of the hydrocarbons instead of the coal needed for the calcium carbide production. Which is basically coal coke and lime baked at high temperatures in an arc furnace.

Well, if you're already in the "pay your remaining copay and the insurance will cover the rest" zone, it doesn't do too much. You service it manually for 2k - that's 2k off your copay (if I remember correctly). You pay 4k for the same service - that's 4k off your copay. And there's risk of paying more than your remaining copay and unexpectedly triggering insurance next time you touch the career terminal (even if you wanted to do a thing or two on the insurance money first)

33:33 I can confirm, did that myself after an incident with a tank car that leaked methane(and then exploded). When moving an 0-6-0 around in that spot, the cinders lit it off, and the area started burning. However, I think it needs something to burn first, some kind of fuel. And namely in this case, as you possibly find out yourself later(commenting as I go), _perhaps a leaky container of Acetelyne?_

Yeah, as was said in the comments before, there is usually a water plug lined with the passenger station. Not sure if that is from the Passenger Jobs Mod, or if it is where they put them in vanilla, but yeah, you looked directly at it twice (at least) and still missed it... Granted, it kinda looked like it could have been a part of the station, so it is understandable that you missed it, but the ones in the cities dont have the big water tank....

Then again, being in a cylinder would explain why the gas is explosive, since any pressure vessel, if mishandled, is basically a bomb and as far as I know acetylene on its own is just flamable.

Allergy season seems to have gotten a lot better in the past week and a half or so. Real life air pumps depend (of course) - but main reservoir is usually between 110 psi and 140 psi maximum, steam or diesel even. Around 7.5-8 bar, for the game's units. You need about 20 psi (1.3 bar) more steam to make that corresponding air pressure, based on the sizing and seals in the pumps - so if you get down low enough on steam to be lower than your main reservoir, you won't make it.
