12/22/08 Train Toilet
This is a post dedicated to DAYANA since she's so fascinated by all the waste deposited into the railway track.. So MR CAI will explain to her what's happening...
Train toilet hmmm how do they deposit the waste? 1) Traditional method The traditional method of disposing human waste from trains is merely to deposit the waste onto the tracks using what is known as a Hopper Toilet. The 'hole in the floor' (also known as a Drop Chute Toilet) system where waste is deposited on the track is still in use in many parts of the world. From the tagboard I can sense that this is Dayana's favourite way of depositing.. BUT DAYANA... let me tell you the disadvantage
and one more..
You cannot use the toilet while the train is at the station cause the people at the station will smell your poo poo... So let me tell you the new way of depositing which might interest you... 2) Tanks Chemical retention tanks are usually present aboard newer carriages and railcars in wealthier and more densely populated parts of the world.One issue is that the tanks need to be regularly emptied, usually when being attended at a terminal station, or prolonged stop-over. If a train is required in service again within too short a period, the tanks may not get emptied. In this case, toilets may back up, which can result in toilets being closed. Which means you might not be able to do your most important thing when you are damn urgent I think everyone knows how it feels and I believe some of you even let it out on your pants and you know IT'S NOT A GOOD FEELING.. ^^ Some trains may also be fitted with composting toilet tanks, which use bacterial action to break down solid and liquid waste before releasing it to the track bed by way of a chlorine sanitizing tank.
This is a pic of how composting toilet work let me explain to you a little in case it looks too complicated for you... ...
