the line II freight wreck that piled up
scores of cars in n confused heap in q
cutting, thus completely barring the
main line.
"'The local authorities were beside
themselves, for they could not figure
put how the wreck could be cleared
away and the line reopened in less than
Two weeks At this juncture Scott ar
rived on the scene and after survey
Of the wreck sent for great quantity
Of coal oil, with which he bad the pile
thoroughly drenched 1t was then
touched Off and the god of fire soon
removed all trace of it, and traffic was
resumed Oh the line in 24 hours.
"a bridge fell, and 1t was feared u
long delay must ensue, but Scott put
more than 1000 men to work on that
one structure and thus eliminated the
question of delay. Those were the
days when such things counted and
were not only possible, but necessary.
Today rallroading is reduced TO such II
fine point that the need for them no
longer exists. The roads are too safe
guarded for that
"The last instance | remember of
such railroad work as that was at the
Johnstown flood in 1882 l think IT was.
Frank Thomson, by great work and
the use OF side lines, was one of the
first to arrive upon the scene. Once
there, he took full control, the division
superlntendents from all over the line
were summoned, and particular task
was given to each one to do Instantly
They one and all responded as best
they could to the spur, and the line
was reopened with incredible swift
ness. There We're one or two failures
however, and those men, while they
were kept on as superlntendents of un-
important mountain divisions, We're
never again promoted. New York
