A Third Man on the Engine.

Referring to q statement that an East
ern road is considering the question of
putting the third man on its engines for
the purpose of keeping q lookout, the
Western Railway says:
II fireman has much work to do
about a furnace door he is no earthly
good as a lookout. The heat and light
of furnace renders ones eyes useless
for several seconds after having looked
into the fireboI. 1t is our belief that it
would be Il good idea for our mountain
roads to have lookout on each passen-
ger engine. Surely if it is necessary on
O straight track to take this prscaution,
ii is douOly necessary on the crooked
mountain lines, where the curves are SO
sharp that the engineer can hardly see
the fireman. Eastern runners Will be
surprised TO learn that the card time of
our mountain trains is thirty miles an
hour.
