Get PUMPED! Care of Cross Compound air pumps

Today we're talking about how to properly "lay-up" (store) steam locomotive air compressors between runs or seasons. Our example compressor is one of two recently acquired by the ‪@KentuckySteam‬, from the Pueblo Railway Museum. It should be mentioned that on operating locomotives it is good practice to use steam cylinder oil mixed 50/50 with journal oil (aka 30wt oil). These compressors will have steam cylinder oil blown through them after they're mounted on the locomotive in several years. 🐻🥧🐒 #steamlocomotive #steamengine #aircompressor #westinghouse #kentuckysteam #thatsteamguy #Railroad #railway #nextgenrailsolutions #podcast #Kentucky #irvine #locomotive #appliances #appliancerepair #train
