Letters of an engineer to his
master mechanic No. B: Dear
Sir: am pleased to report that
we were only "a hours behind
time on this trip. To begin with
we had to stop along the line TO
let the crew, as well as some of
the passengers vote. Next thing,
l had a green fireman, who, ow-
ing to the track being so out
rageously rough, could not stand
up while the train was moving,
let alone throwing in coal. Con
sequently l had to stop the train
every mile or so for him to put
in fire. After a while, how
ever, he was able to fire the en-
CINE while the train moved slow,
but this did not seem to please
the passengers, as one was over
heard to remark that he believed
he would get off the train to see
which way we were moving.
There were also several officials
on the train of the narrow
minded narrow-gage road which

me he heard one say that "Yqu
