Created in 1947 by the Reading Company, FIRING THE STEAM LOCOMOTIVE served as the handbook for the last generation of locomotive firemen. Within its chapters youâ€™ll find a breakdown of the firemanâ€™s responsibilities, including how to prepare and inspect the fire, how to fire different types of coal, and how to correct bad fire conditions. The text also includes a description of steam locomotive mechanics, with detaileddiscussions of the stoker, the grates, the boiler, water systems, smoke and draft control, and the superheater. Itâ€™s a fascinating reference for the museum docent, hobbyist, or anyone who ever wondered â€œHow did that work?â€
