Although the locomotive "Leviathan" is a replica of a wood-burning 4-4-0 American Standard, and she does carry some wood on the tender deck, she is, in fact, an oil-burner. Oil-firing has significant advantages over wood, such as better BTU value, easier refueling, and of course, a much lower danger of trackside fires.
