As the operator of that fire truck, I had no problem drafting from the under ground tanks, just a little disruption breaking down to move the fire engine each time, no big deal or embarrassment for IRM as far as I'm concerned. We got it done.
Rob,
Many thanks for the assistance without which we would have been in some trouble trying to support Leviathan.
From the perspective of the steam shop it is a bit embarassing to have a purpose built locomotive water facility that failed to deliver the water !.
