Reply To: GPCS – is it the solution for poor coal

    I think pulverised fueling is worth another look as it seems to address the issue of poor fuel quality and also some of the issues associated with loco moaintenance (ash disposal) and fire throwing. Some development required to deal with fuel handling or pulverisation on the loco itself.
