Railbound Fire Protection Equipment
Railroad companies and municipal departments maintain specialized firefighting rail tankers equipped with large water tanks, pump stands, and heavy hoses. Parked beside elevated railway loading platforms, these railcars protect timber trestles and remote tracks from wildland fires.
Industrial Railway Fire Suppression
Firefighting trains were developed during the expansion of timber and coal railways to suppress forest fires sparked by iron locomotive wheels. A single firefighting rail tanker can carry up to 10,000 gallons of water to regions unreachable by standard road-bound fire engines.
Colors of Industrial Rail Tankers
- Rail tanker body: safety red, yellow, or industrial black
- Steel railway tracks: metallic dark gray with rust-brown sides
- Heavy hose line: dark gray, black, or canvas yellow
- Loading platform: weathered timber brown or concrete gray
