like a kilometer from the track, good like reaching that.

Speaker 4 (02:04):
So what the main role of these engines is.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
To water as a break, as sort of a wildfire break,
because you know when this wildfires get big and the
winds are blowing, they'll jump their gaps. They've got stock brakes.
They go down these and you can imagine how much
water can fit on a train transmit to oh yeah, tons,
far more than trucks can pull. So they just turn
it down the line and they just hose it everywhere. Yes, right,

a bigger version of Judy Drench.

if you could imagine a sixty truck fire truck. That's
a nine hundred horse power It weighs fifty four tons
but can get up to eighty kilometers an hour and
under twenty five seconds, which is phenomenal.
