A RAILWAY locomotive lasts from
thirty-ive to forty years. Sometimes,
however, a chance one may see half a
century of service, For the first FIVE or
tix years locomotive needs no repairs,
providing it meets with no accidents.
Then it will need new boiler tubes,
when, in another five years, the tires,
bOileIsnd engine boxesmust..be replaced.
The locomotive is then good for another
score of years, when the irsmes, axles
and some of the small points require
looking after. Then, like the traditional
Yankee isck-kniie, it has a new blade
snd new handle. 1t is an acknowledged
fact that American locomotives see more
