Railroad friends,
Wayland sent me this link that his son Dan sent him. Dan is a professional railroad employee. The concept made me think about superchargers and  turbochargers on engines. Various forms of super and turbo chargers were used on car, truck, boat and airplane engines! In simple terms I explained the differences to my car customers between the two that a supercharger forced fresh air through the engine to boost power where as a turbocharger recirculated partially burnt exhaust gas back through the engine to be burned a second time. I guess it could be argued that both had their advantages and disadvantages.
Check out this video.
Thanks Wayland!
Norris

Franco-Crosti boiler<https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franco-Crosti_boiler>
The Franco–Crosti boiler is a type of boiler used for steam locomotives. It was designed in the 1930s by Attilio Franco and Dr Piero Crosti.
The main difference between it and conventional feedwater heaters widely used on the continent is that the Franco-Crosti boiler uses both exhaust steam and exhaust gases from the firebox. Conventional feedwater heaters only use exhaust steam.(114 kB)
