What happens to poo from the toliet on a train?

Question

lol

Answer 1

The same as an airliner or RV. It goes to a holding tank and gets pumped out to a sewer system later on.

Answer 2

It gets sucked out by the poo truck, then taking to the poo burner and is never heard from again...

Answer 3

Depends on the train. Or the plane, for that matter.

Most trains the sewer is pumped into a holding tank and emptied. Some older trains have no sewer, and there are even signs in the toiler saying please dont use the toilet while at a station. It just falls down onto the ground.

Planes now will all have a sewer system onboard, however, some older planes used to freeze the waste and drop it out once they were above an ocean.

Answer 4

Mustange is correct.  There was a time when toilet material went directly onto the track, hence the old-time signs "Do Not Flush Toilet While Train is in Station".  However, Federal laws long ago required that passenger trains install retention toilet systems, where all material goes to a holding tank from which it can be drained, either at a service yard or at the last station of the run.  

Fresh water is pumped into the car at the start of the trip, for use in fountains and in the lavatories.

Answer 5

It get's filtered and the water comes out of the water fountain.

Answer 6

It gets collected when the train arrives at its destination and made into compost for the flower beds that you often see on railway stations.

Answer 7

LOL "I <3 my Suby." funnest lie I heard all day.

yeah it gose into a holding tank in America.

I'm not sure if all Chinese and Indain trains do

they have lower standards than the US

Answer 8

The poo goes into a tank beneath the car that is emptied at a service point somewhere.

Hopefully there will be paper in the dispenser and you wont be walking down the aisle waddling like a duck asking for an attendant to bring you some paper.
