Thomas 4. Scott Used to Handle
Them Without Gloves.
"When that wonderful railroad gen.
ius, the late Thomas a. Scott, was
building up the Pennsylvania system,
the work he did was superhuman, the
results he accomplished marvellous"
said an old railroad man. Scott was
essentially O man Of action. For ex-
ample, at one time there occurred on
the line freight wreck that piled up
scores Of cars in confused heap ID
cutting, thus completely barring the
main line.
"The local authorities were beside
themselves, for they could not figure
out 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 had the pile
thoroughly drenched. 1t was then
touched off, and the god Of fire soon
removed all trace of 1t, and traffic was
resumed on the line in 24 hours.
"A bridge fell, and 1t was feared
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 railroading is reduced to such o
fine point that the need for them no
longer exists. The roads are too safe

They one and all responded as best
they could to the spur. and the line
was reopened with incredible swift
ness. There were one or two failures,
however. and those men. while they
were kept on as superintendent OF IN
important mountain divisions, were
never again promoted."-New York
