HOW ENGINEER
JOHN MCCAULEY
SAVED A TRAIN
Storm Had Blown a
Car on the Trestle.

ALAMEDA, Nov. 29.-John McCauley.
an engineer on the Alameda narrow gauge
local train, saved a trainload OF passen-
gers from being wrecked on the narrow
trestle near the end OF the narrow gauge
pier al midnight last night. BY the great
est vigilance and the greatest bravery the
engineer prevented what would have been
one OF the greatest horrors in railroading.
for a train would have been wrecked over
the water.
During the heavy storm OF wind aud
rain shortly before midnight last night a
section car was blown of a switch at
the depot at the end OF the narrow gauge
trestle. and out upon the Alameda main
line. The car was a specially constructed
affair, with a heavy scaffOlding built high
into the air. so that painters might work
upon the roof of the ferry building. This
scaffoldng caught the full force OF ihe
wind and acted like sails upon a boat,
carrying the car out upon the main line
This was not noticed by my OF the en-
ployes al the depot. and the heavy car
stood out on the trestle a menace 10 hun
dreds OF lives.
The last train from Alameda toward
San Francisco last night was in charge
Of John McCauley. and the engineer was
trying 10 make good time and reach the
depot at the end of the pier so that the
boats might not be held. He had made
dent, and as he began the long run down
the Alameda fill and trestle he opened the
throttle and gave his engine almost full
head of steam for the run down.
The wind was blowing hard and the rain
was driving into the cab. but the engi-
neer kept a sharp lookout ahead. che
night was dark and the storm made II
doubly black outside. and MCCauley
peered out into the night as the train flew
over the rails.
Suddenly a dark object doomed out of
| the darkness ahead. and McCauley saw
that something was on the track. For an
instant he was paralyzed with fear, but
IL was only an instant. Instead OF Jump
/ ing from his engine and letting his train
take care Of itself, he stuck 10 his post
and saved his train.
Throwing the reversing lever back he
crowded all steam on, at the same time
sanding the rails TO make the wheels hold
more firmly. This threw the passengers
I in the coaches from their seats and piled
I them up In confusion in the aisles. but
McCauley wanted 10 stop the train before
\ IT was thrown into the water under the
trestle. Even with all his Efforts the
train struck the car with sufficient force
to completely demolsh the car and break
all the light upper works on the engine
l But McCauley had saved his train.
There is nothing 10 tell" said Nc
/ Cauley modestly. II threw the engine
/ over and hung on, and did what any
/ other man would have done had ne Oeen
where l was. l didn't want to ditch the
train at that point"

than half of the editorials
