Hi Blue, I have a Spanish locomotive made a few years ago and from it I will make a German grey BR95.Barely new and she is already Rusting up I see.... Nice work Javier !
Normally this is the factory color of steam locomotives but in this case the rusting is because the DR between 1935 and 1939 (more or less) repainted some locomotives from black to gray to make them look better at night in the stations. A little-known topic that I continue to investigate.
I hope you're okay, I don't, I'll tell you.
Cheers

Very interesting back story on Locomotive, out here on the Pacific Coast, we get terrible rusting of anything in Metal, or Aluminum scaling etc. I not sure, but I think the East Coast might be worse due to bad winters, and all the Salt they put on their roads. Every so often, I'll see a car from the East Coast, and you can't believe how bad it is Rusted from Salt and Ocean air etc.
I'm doing OK this week, had a plugged Oil Gland near a shoulder blade area and needed minor surgery, real bugger how these come up sometimes!
The kick on it, was I needed to take Antibiotics for 7 days to keep any infection on the Surgery Wound area. Darn Antibiotics did a number on Colon, and I had to stop taking them about the 5 day due to excessive Montezuma revenge.
Never had an issue with Antibiotics like this before. Could be my age? Who knows, but I was about one day away from going to Emergency Care for IV to replace lost fluids. Took about 2 or more days to get back to regular.
Ironically, I rarely take Antibiotics because of their effect on Flora n Fauna.
Now a week and later, I am back outside enjoying Yard cleanup with my beloved Plants.
Hugs to you and family from across the big Pond.

You nailed it with the salt although many areas are moving away from rock salt and going to a calcium chloride mixed with sand instead. The disadvantage of this is white scum that's difficult to remove from the windscreen and vehicles, but it beats ruining the environment and eating up vehicles.
But you are right too on bare metal and even painted metal on locomotives. The MBTA F40phs are rusting away just like cars do. The body panels just above the wheel wells are flapping due to the salt hitting the edges in the built-up slush and snow. This is similar to the rust and rot that hits older vehicles.
For your "plumbing" issue, I recommend eating yogurt. Good old-fashioned yogurt from the supermarket will put the natural bacteria into your stomach and also settle it down too. I was told this by a friend of mine after I suffered from a similar stomach issue due to a really strong antibiotic for pneumonia. Ever since then, yogurt is my go-to for that, not that I don't eat it often anyway.

Good Morning Brother John,
Good to know, it really kicked my proverbial behind. And I do like Yogurt, and should have more of it. I just have to watch intake of Milk products due to removal of Gall Bladder 30 some years ago, Stones.
The Doctor told me Gall Bladder was extra organ, and nothing in Diet would change, which is not true at all. About close to half of us, with removal face this issue for the rest of their lives, and need to take Pro and Pribiotic Pills when eating certain meals.

On Saturday the 21st I was all night and early morning in the emergency room of my hospital because I had fluid retention and the inflammation rose from my feet and legs to my arms and hands. I've been taking medication for it for a week but I'm not feeling well, although I must admit that the inflammation has gone down a bit.
We are young men!, as a poet would say.......
"The bull of life has passed over us" he, he.
The problem of oxidation that you mention is more due to the high relative humidity of the air in some areas and the amount of salts dissolved in it. Here in Madrid the climate is dry (low relative humidity) but in the Spanish east the salt "ate" the car bodies.
With best wishes, cheers, Javier

That happens here too. Painted surfaces actually peel due to the salty moist air getting under the paint through a small hole.
The Blue Line metro (subway) that runs out to Logan Airport from downtown Boston uses overhead wires instead of third-rail. The original ROW belonged to the Boston Revere Beach and Lynn narrow-gauge railroad that electrified its route in the early 1900s. The line was abandoned in the 1940s and converted to standard gauge in 1952.
@fant_autentico. I hope you are doing better.
We're all getting old unfortunately. My grandmother said we all fall apart after we reach 40. Grandmothers are always right just like mums.

Very true
Guys, guys, guys... Does this evolves here from the Prussian Railways into the geriatric forum?
If so, I'm in. With my sixty four my health is, thank God, quite okay, The only problem is the hell hound of lust that has tortured me in my younger days. One day I threw the stick and he doesn't return Or to use another metaphor, if you want to go out he still looks at you, seems to recognise you but turns around, farts and ignores you...
