patton, as Many Men Know.
Some of the old railroad track walkers
can boast Of records equal to that OF loco
motives in the point Of miles which they
have covered. Engineers sometimes claim
that they have ridden 100000 miles or so,
but the men who have walked that far are
not often heard of. Still there are plenty
Of them In the branch Of the railroad serv-
ice Of which the track walker" belongs
They are the safeguard of travel which the
public knows least about. They prevent
hundreds Of accidents, BIO their good deeds
are rarely, If ever, rewarded, is is the case
with the faithful engineer or hagman
And it is a peculiar fact that there is no
line Of promotion, consequently no great
incentive TO careful work.

duties from Thomas Sesnan, now foreman

Grand Central station. Sesnan has been

n rara OF five or six men Keeps each sec

who are kept busy making repairs. That
one Is the track walker, who patrols the
tracks all day long with an eye ont for
weak points and distractions which might
couse accidents. OF course there Is sec
ond track walker mt night who does the
same work.
"The track walkers outfit includes
hammer, wrench. lantern, red flag, a few
torpcdocs, bolts and spikes. No, he doesn't
walk at pedestrian speed. His gait
shouldnt be more than two to three miles
an hour. A man might hurry over the en-
fire ground inside of an hour, but he
couldn't look at every bolt and rail connec.

each tfdfk. Ills Ntitit4 iitilAc - Nfiy ~

IAN experienced track walker can tell a
loose bolt at n glance. Sometimes it will
be caused by broken rail, and he will see
that the joints do not fit. Generally
loose Joint will be indicated by disturb
ance of the earth, causing n creyicc be-
tween the sleeper and the rail. In this
case the track walker props the rail with
4 thin piece of wood, which he must carry
in his outfit Fish plates and angle plates
are distributed along tho line, and the
track walker sometimes has to replace
broken plates if there isn't time for the
section gang to come up before train Is
due. I'm case of "A broken rail or obstruc
