Description

This is an original railroad article that was removed from the November 1955 issue of Railway Track & Structures magazine. The title of this article is "Oil Piped to Pot-Type Heaters". A paragraph from this article is provided below:

"Easier, faster and safer. These words describe the merits of a piping system in use on the Illinois Central for distributing fuel oil to pot-type switch heaters at a busy interlocking. With this system the oil is delivered from a tank car to hydrants near switches from where it is handled by hose directly to the individual heaters that are not too far away from the supply line. Thus the labor and hazard involved in carrying the oil in cans across the tracks during storms are eliminated except in some cases mentioned later."

This article contains 2 pages, 1 illustration and 4 photos. Article is in very good condition. Paper shows toning due to the quality and age of paper. This article is not a reproduction, but removed from the original magazine. Yellow tint is a result of the scanning process. Note: pages only and not the entire magazine is included.
