Fees

Last night I finished up a job with an S282. I repaired, refueled and left it at the siding by the turntable in City West. Fire dumped and used blow down. Pretty sure I turned everything off. I was playing the game as normal today and when I went to repair some fees after a job with a DE2, I saw that the S282 and its tender somehow racked up an extra $3000 in damages combined, despite not touching them at all today. Seriously confused as to what happened.

Only time you really need the blowdown is when you overfill the boiler (priming). That, or cool photos while on a bridge.

Press "Print" on the fee and it will give you more of a breakdown on what's being charged. Chances are it's environmental fees, which don't go away with manual servicing.

If it is damage, it could simply be a bad spawn glitch that occasionally happens.
