Abstract
The hazards of fire are well known in railroad operations, whether they be freight, passenger or transit. This paper deals with the problems of diesel electric and electric locomotives as well as the special case of turbine hydraulic power cars, discussing the hazards as they exist and the effectiveness of fire suppression approaches in the past. Measures which can be taken to minimize the risks, using technology developed for NASA and very successfully adapted to military operations, are described and specific railroad applications of the technology are discussed.
