Jokioinen Museum Railway volunteers made firewood for steam locomotives during three days in the beginning of January. The firewood were made of wood especially bought for that purpose and also of some trees fallen by huge storms after Christmas.
The firewood weekends are going to be continued during the hearth of winter, because railway has bought enough firewood material for two traffic period. That means approximately 140 cubic meters of wood. The wood material is quite dry already, so it suits perfectly for steam locomotive use.
Three of the five steam locomotives of Jokioinen Museum Railway are completely wood-burners. Firewood will also be needed for two coal-fired locomotives, because pre-heating is done by burning wood. Coal is used only when locomotive is running.
