There are strict laws when it comes to many things involving the Jewish faith. If you want to know what they are, you only have to look in the Old Testament. God gave the Hebrews very specific instructions about how to live, what to do, and when and where to do it. True believers have never wavered from these commandments. These laws have extended to include the transportation of orthodox products. To transport orthodox product by rail, for instance, a kosher washout CA OU rabbis will certify must be conducted.
The only cars that require kosherization are those that previously carried non-kosher products or those from sources that can't be verified. Kosherizations are cleanings done at specific temperatures. They have to be conducted before any orthodox product enters the car. An orthodox union rabbi has to be on site when the kosherization is taking place to ensure the procedure is carried out in accordance with their laws.
The procedure includes washing the interior of a car and any gauges or valves that touch the interior. There are not particular specifications for this washing other than using a caustic detergent to rid the car of any residue left from the previous products. The rabbi is not required to be present for this washing, but will inspect the car prior to the kosherization.
No part of the rail car that requires kosherization can be heated for twenty-four hours before the procedure. If hot water is necessary for the initial washing, the washing must take place the day prior to the kosherization. Once the cleaning has been approved, the car can be kosherized.
There are two ways rail cars can be kosherized, by steam or by baking. The steam method requires that the entire interior and siphon pipe be steamed. The vapor exiting the pipe must maintain a temperature of two hundred degrees for thirty seconds. The blow off valve, and any other interior gauges and valves have to be boiled at a temperature of two hundred degrees or heated in an oven.
The second method is baking. In this process the interior of a rail car is heated until the metal temperature reaches 400 degrees. The four hundred degree temperature must be sustained for two hours. The siphon pipe, blow off valve, and manway lid must be heated to the same temperature. It is permissible to place them in the interior of the car as it bakes. It is permissible to heat them in a separate unit.
If oil is needed to wipe the interior of the rail car after the procedure, it is required to be oil that is approved by the orthodox union. After the kosherization, all the seal numbers, on every valve the products pass through, are sent to the orthodox union offices. Upon receipt they issue a kosher certificate.
Once everyone understands these procedures, they can be done routinely. It is very important to closely follow protocol. Even in a instance where a field rabbi is not required, it is usually a good idea to insist of having one present.
