I sketched this up back on April 15th (2010) durring a "Career Readiness Workshop" at the Unemployment Center. My WIA Case Manager recomended I go to it. But I digress.
As I listeneded to the presentaition and in between taking notes I drew this. It's not my best work but it's pretty good I think. The lady who gave the presentation was VERY interested in this drawing an my talent. I started talking to her and this lead to an interesting conversation. I MAY have a Teaching Posistion in September!!
It's not a done deal but it is exciting!
Anywho, here is the "Wolf Creek & Flagstone" locomotive "Shilo" taking on some water at a rural tank somewhere in the Colorado Rockies. Jason Corber, Shilo's engineer, is preparing to dump some sand into the sand domes before digging into the steep grades ahead.
Despite the fact that this is like a "doodle" for me I really do like how it turned out. So I might make a "Good" version of this later on. Hope you like it!!!

What, a Spark Arrestor? Almost EVERY steam locomotive of the 1800's had 'em!
You know those HUGE old time smoke stacks "Old West" locos had? Those were specifically designed to trap escaping sparks and embers and keep them for getting out into the air. If they did there was a chance of ignighting the train itself of catching the surounding greenery ablaze!
Spark Arresting smoke stacks came in all shapes and sizes. Most were self contained, hidden within the smoke stack itself. Others were simple wire mesh screes attatched to the top of the smoke stack. Like on the loco in this picture. The most unusual, yet one of the most effective, spark arrestors I've seen were the "Bear Trap" spark arrestors used on the old Colorado & Southern narrow gauge locomotives.
