snifter valves
Is it necessary for snifter valves to be installed on modern piston valve steam locomotives? I see them on lots of PRR engines but none on modern NYC and NKP locomotives.
Please help me.

A Halloween message
Yes, one of the local clubs actually had 2 nites, last friday and saturday. To bad all we had was cold weather and rain but the people showed up just for the rides thru the haunted woods. That would be Mud Creek. A good time was had by all.
