Engineer HcCan's Story Of That Unpera,.

Holds the Throttle While the Engine
Bores Holes Into the Night.
This is the story Of how it feels to drive
an engine at its utmost speed, gathered
from the lips Ct the drivers. Various per
sons have from time to tine related their
sensations while on board o railway train
travelling at the rate Of q mile a minnie.
but much more interesting are the facts
as to the sensations Of the men in the cab
Of the engine, who face death and danger.
to whom peril is an everyday companion,
and who turn their backs on fear
Think of travelling at the rate Of l12
miles an hour! Only once in the entire
history of railroads has the feat ever been
accomplished. The bearers of this record
are engine 999, that most famous of Ameri-
can locomotives, and Its driver, John
Hogan. 1t all happened on the tracks Of
the New York Central, between Syracuse
and Buffalo This is what Engineer Ho-
gan says:
"To travel along the rails at the rate of
11s miles an hour is as near like flying as
anything 1 can think Of When we got
outside Of Syracuse and began to crowd
on steam, VIC shook just as IL we had been
at sea. tell you felt excited as we grad
ually put on steam and l knew we were
getting closer and closer to q point of
speed that had never been passed by any
engine Faster and faster We went, nv
heart beating like q trip hammer. The
country and the towns on each side of the
track didn't seem like anything but
streaks. 1t seemed to me as if everything
had gone out Of my head but just the pow
er to watch that steam gauge ard to keep
track of that speed.
when we reached the hundred mile an
hour pace, knew all records had been
broken. Old 999 and John Hogan had
gone faster than any engine and engineer
had ever travelled. felt sense of exhil-
aration and pride such as I mover expert

Just does all he can to avert the danger.
He has no time to feel at all under such

gine and poor driver. There arc crank

men, and sometimes they cause n deal

cranky human being up, but n cranky en-
gine Is the bane of n railroad mans life.
1t Is no exaggcraticl to say that TN cngi
neer becomes acquainted with an engine
just as n man becomes accustomed to n
horse. Some men can drive an engine
much faster than others. That Is owing,
In some instances, to the fact that the man
has not nerve enough TO crowd her.
Sometimes IL is also due to the fact thEt
he does not know tho good points of tho
machine he Is handling.
"When I'm in NY cab and on z run.
there Is constantly with me the realization
Of responsibility, and l am always On the
