It's too bad that the Black Butte pipe is gone. Bad luck that the Amtrak train took it out. Date: 02/16/18 09:40 Re: Steam Appreciation 7- A Photo Just to Enjoy Author: HotWater wingomann Wrote:

Having taken water many, many, may times from fire hydrants all over the midwest, southwest, and west, I can't ever recall a flow exceeded 500GPM through a 2 1/2 inch fire hose. However, that original "steam era" water column would deliver at least 1500 to 2000 GPM, what with the pressure head from the nearby water tank, not to mention the large diameter of the vertical column. How fast can you fill the > tender? It took only a few minutes to overflow the tender. > It's too bad that the Black Butte pipe is gone. > Bad luck that the Amtrak train took it out. |
