We had an engineroom fire in an ALCO locomotive here in Victoria Australia in 1990. Fortunately it was 3rd unit it was well involved in fire all we could do is uncouple the units and place the ALCO in the cripple siding and call the local fire department. Unfortunately it was DBF it was later hauled to Ballarat Loco depot and scrapped on site the other 2 locos which were Australian built EMD GT-26s were put back on the train and back on the move to Adelaide South Australia

I assume the silent part was when the two men were cursing up a storm😆

The fire on 5755 put out less smoke than the normal Alco.

I can't believe the "most labor friendly" president doesn't think these hardworking railroad employees deserve paid time off like everyone else!

So, they were expected to go into an enclosed, smoke-filled engine room with no breathing apparatus and discharge CO2 in there? That's nuts.

I imagine it was expected of them. OBA's and Scott packs were unheard-of. Can you picture them telling the HFIC, or supervisor "Well, it was too smokey so we lett it 🔥 ". I'm not taking a side, just looking at it differently. 🤔

I’d assume that there’s got to be decent ventilation inside the engine room with the car body length vents but yeah, it’s a bit strange to use CO2, dry powder would be safer for crew to use and I’m surprised they didn’t equip dry powder in engine rooms, powder works better than gas on typical grease and oil fueled fires anyways

Just another way for music royalties to keep robbing creators and even worse music companies to exploit it with false claims so they can make fraudulent money.

Insurance regulators require them. They are for looks, not for use. As soon as an employee uses one the insurance company raises the rate and denies the claim.

We have an electrical room at work it’s built from a 40ft shipping container so it’s rather solid and airtight, we have a CO2 system inside and management is like “if you are in there and the alarm goes off you better be out the door before the first cycle of the siren because you’ll be trapped and suffocated” needless to say I don’t spend much time in there
