AN ENGINEERS NEED OF NERvK-Unques-
uODaDly the bravest men In America are those
who stand upon the foot boards OF the locomO-
ives which draw the fast express trains But
few persons are aware OF 1t, but on the leading
railways, where connections must be made II
possible, only engineers known to be brave and
daring are given engines on express trains, and
as soon as an engineer shows the least timidIty
ABOUT running fast he Is taken from his engine
and given one on q freight train to run, Two
such cases have occurred recently on Indianap-
Oils roads Railroad officials state that the first
sign that an engineer is becoming timid is that
ne Will be i've to ten minutes late, possibly
half hour, for some days or nights In succession.
He Is then called to an account, and unless his
reasons are convincing another engineer Is
given his engine to run for q few times. and
should he bring the train In promptly on
time, the first. engineer gets q freight
train engine to run until he braces up. It
Is stated, however, that after an engineer al
lows MS umldfty to get fair hold he seldom so
far overcomes 1t as to have the bravery to step
on TO an express-tratn engine and run 1t at the
speed necessary to make the time. quite
ming west from here got an impression that
some accident was to happen to him, and one
night, when running q fast express he con-
stantly lost time. At the first station where
the train stopped the conductor berated him
for running so slow. The engineer actually
shed tears. and owned that fears had overcome
him, and that he dared not run fast, and at his
own request an engineer OF freight train
which stood at this meeting point was given
ductor telegraphing the train-master, asking
that the request be granted. The timid engi-
neer has since run freight on the rOad-(Tn.
