AN IMPORTANT TRAIN.
The s.Wrecker,- Always Ready for
an Emergency, Is Always Given
the Right Of Way.

Upon great railroad systems the
wrecking train is as carefully arranged
as the apparatus in a fire company g
house, ready TO go into action as soon
as the call for it is licked upon the
sounder in the dispatcher's Office. A
writer in Pearson's Magazine gives an
account of the "wrecker."
Coupled together, the cars stand upon
a convenient switch track that is al
ways connected with the main line. No
other cars are allowed to be placed upon
this switch at any time. Some cCm-
panies reserve one of the fastest lOcomO-
uves purposely to haul the wrecking
train, and keep the engine in the round
house with fire continually in the fur
mace box, prepared to steam up at a
moments notice.
The train is made up of four, some
lines five cars. the rear one being occu-
pied by the officers and wreckers, with
portion reserved for the rope and chain
which are part of the equipment.
The officers have a "sitting-rOOm"
with a table and benches, where they
can consult on their way to the scene
of the accident. The mems quarters are
for each man, so that, if called during
The night, the crew. may have a chance
TO take nap on the way.
The next car in front is called the
block car" and contains a small-sized
lumber yard, filed as 1t is with pieces
Of timber ranging from wedges to be
hammered under the wheels, or jacks,
% square posts Of various lengths, used
for propping.
Since the invention Of the wrecking
train. hand tackle" is not employed as
much as in former days; but hundreds
Of feet of rope, ranging from sizes the
thickness of ones finger to cables two
inches thick, are carried in coils with
huge wooden pulleys. as are also chains
strong enough to move hundred-ton
weight. On the next car are two or three
sets of extra trucks with wheels at
tached, to replace any that might have
been broken, for the lower part or gear
ing of rolling stock suffers more in an
accident than any other portion. Some
times it is Wrenched completely from
the car itself. the wheels broken on the
axles or damaged in some other way,
SO that 1t is fit only foI scrap iron. Next
to the locomotive is the crane car. on
which swinl6 a great steel arm whose
muscles of chain will raise so tons at
lime and swing 1t through the air, doing
the work of 500 pairs of hands.
The life OF a railroader Is full Of un-
oertaInties- No. one knows when news
Of an accident may come. Perhaps sew
eral weeks mey elapse without even a
car leaving the track: then all the
gangs on the system may have
their hands full because Of two or three
disasters in "A hour In this respect

in big city; but the railroad companies
believe in keeping all hands employed

In debate is blusterer. He never

easy victim to the clean wit, the self

Spooner invariably throws Tillman
into a perfect rage.
And yet personally. Spooner and
Tillman are the very best of friends.
They have been drawn to each other
