A VERY OLD RAILROAD.
The Mohawlk 4 hudson, Built in 1920 by
an Aston Company.

One of the first railways, if not the
first, in this country, says the Railmay
Age, was the Mohawk & Hudson, which
was chartered by an act of the New
York Legislature April IL, 1926. The
commissioners who were intrusted with
the duty of organizing the company
met for the purpose in the Office Of
John Jacob Aston in New York city,
july 20, 1926. One of their first Official
acts was to appoint Peter Fleming chief
engineer and send him To England 10
examine as to the feasibility of build
ing u railroad. Mr. Fleming's salary
was fixed at $1,000 u year. The road
first used horse power, and later on
adopted steam for use in daytime. re-
tanning horses, however. for night
work. 1t was not deemed sufc to use
steam after dark. A. first the trains
consisted of II car each, which, in its
construction, closely rescmblcd the old
fashioned stage coach. There was no
conductor, no bcll-cord, and, in short.

mcnts which belong 10 therailway train

The road connected ihc two towns OF

The first Improvement on this brake
consisted in placing a strip of leather
on n side OF the wedge. On one side
of this wedge was n hole in which n
broom-handlc, or other handle, was
placed for convenience in operating
the contrivancc. As business increased
and cars We're added, il was found im-
possible for the engineer 10 sec all tho
cars OF lis train, SO us to determine if
they were moving along in proper
shape, SO 4 guard was placed on top of
the first car back of the engine, who
kept his eye on the entire train, and

And, ah, the shadow only showed the fair.

When carping Judgment and uncertain word

When In his face l read what ! had been.
