LE&NS Railroad Episode 45 Building a Diesel Sanding Tower

[@jetmec]

Hi Where on the loco is the fill point for the sand? Would this sanding tower need a building containing sand to feed it?

Hi, This is a great question.Most locomotives are equipped with sand hoppers positioned directly above the truck side frame on either side.
You can find some really good additional information about why sand is still used and how it is delivered atrymalstation.blogspot.com/2019/11/cn-stuart-street-diesel-shop-sanding.html
Thanks for the question.
