Yes, that part was just that boiler tube life would be measured as 60 individual months with service rather than presuming that the passage of 5 years time was all in continuous service. In the old days the locomotives worked year round and 5 sequential years was a simple enough wear gauge. In the museums however use during 2 or 3 months each year will not wear it out in 5 years hence the change to including the layups more closely in the measure. The jurisdiction is still staying with the FRA however.Bill |
