Memories of The Canadian The Scenic Dome Route Across Canada
From the Article
When fresh out of high school, I had a summer job fuelling and watering The Canadian. A and B units at the station as the train came through. We had 20 minutes to top up three locomotives. It was a busy period, often in the dark, as the running crew changed and machinists checked the engine.
Once I missed watering one of the B units which generated steam heat and hot water for the passenger cars. But it still provided power so it's alarm must have been turned off and the tank filled at the next divisional point. No one was ever certain who fouled up!
