Locomotive 4960 – famous Maria Fumaça from the USA that tours the Grand Canyon – is already a 90 year old woman, but it wasn't for this is what she retired in 2008: the train was excessively polluting the environment and, therefore, it had to stop circulating about five years ago. years old.
The news saddened the tourists, who thought they would never again have the chance to walk in the famous Maria Fumaça 4960, but behold, the locomotive is resurrected thanks to the cooking oil her mother uses at home to fry potatoes. Can you believe? US researchers have developed a technique that uses cooking oil used as fuel to power the train, which weighs more than 100 tons.
In addition to not polluting the environment, the unusual fuel helps to solve another very serious environmental problem: the incorrect disposal of used cooking oil. Many people have the (bad) habit of throwing waste down the kitchen drain, but this attitude is very bad for nature. A liter of oil thrown by the sink pollutes 25,000 liters of water. Just look at the size of the damage… The ideal is to send this waste for recycling or, then, use it to put the Maria Fumaça 4960 to work, as the researchers in the USA did.
