Reply to "High Speed Steam in Real Life"

A railroad steam engine has multiple closely spaced fire tubes running the length of the boiler.  (A fire tube carries the hot gases from the fire through boiler.)  This will prevent most, but not all, of the free water effect (sloshing) of water back and forth.  NH Joe

Ah, that makes sense. It's kind of obvious now that I think about it.
