Black smoke from locomotive


Series1 Episode 1, at 10:30, Billie Joe asks Charlie why the engine is producing so mush black smoke. Charlie replies that Floyd has taken to burning railroad ties. The creosote preservative in the ties creates the black smoke when it burns. It also clogs up the boiler tubes. Billie Joe says,"Well, I guess I'll have to clean the boiler tubes when we're done."
