Couldn't have been any more soot in the air back then compared to the annual mega-wild fires that we have today. And with smoke, the soot settles over the land, then is absorbed as nutrients for the soil. The main problem with it is there isn't enough biomass to run life in this country as we know it today without fear of running out. That's why we needed something other than wood as a fuel source.(quoted from post at 18:25:49 07/06/17) Lot's of air pollution!
(quoted from post at 21:18:58 07/06/17) Going to be a sad day when all them Swedish windmills start falling apart.
(quoted from post at 20:58:15 07/06/17) Were those engines still coal fired in 1999 or had they been converted to oil? I know very little about trains, but find them interesting.

They were All COAL Fired back in the day.(quoted from post at 22:59:03 07/06/17) Though not certain, I believe both 3985 and 844 were oil fired originally.
Pease correct me if I M wrong.
