Wood burning locomotives. In Lithuania and other north Baltic states where the American Red Cross, is conducting relief work, the shortage of coal has made it necessary to burn wood in the railway engines. Wood burns rapidly and to carry enough for a long run, a super structure had to be built over the fuel box. The practice is to get up the steam with coal but to use only wood under way. On long runs frequent steps have to be made to replenish the fuel supply
