A quiet, cool and comfortable house of particular excellence, conveniently situated at the corner of Second and Hill streets, in the heart of the cita. but just enough removed from the cen ter of trade activities to be away from the hustle of traffic.

This cut and the subject of these
remarks is James White, who went
first into the employ of the Camden
K Amboy railroad in 1916 at South
Amboy, under Captain Charles Fish
er, who was in charge Oh the freight
department at this terminal. Mr..
White continued in the service as
brakeman, conductor, fireman, en-
gineer and .roundhouse foreman, up
to and including 1900, then having
reached the age limit prescribed, sew
enty years. for the employees of the
Pennsylvania railroad. Mr.. Whites
record as a successful locomotive en-
gineer has been something unprece-
dented. He had to his credit 1,427,-
800 miles. That mileage would en-
circle the earth 81 times. This he
accomplished without a reprimand of
his superior, and during all this mile
age did not bend a cowcatcher of any
of the 10 locomotives he had in his
charge. Mr.. White was born in South
Amboy June A, 1929. In 1853 he
was put in charge of the famous John
Bull. In 1854 he ran the original
Owl line with the Bull, from Phila-
delphia to New Brunswick. In 1855

sacrifice power in the measure, and

OF a locomotive depends entirely up
on the travel, lead and nap of the
steam valve, and if these points are

building a locomotive. There are too

RAILS THEN USED.

AS r gave you a description of
railroad iron, / may add. some Items
that may interest your readers.
1t may not be generally known that
on the Amboy division of the Penn
~sylvania railroad there have been
more experiments made with the diff
ferent STYLES and shapes of railroad
iron, than any other lines in the oun
try, and | think ] can safely say in
the world. There are now on record
in section 60 different shapes of rail
road iron that have been put on this
line since it's inception in 1881 up to
and including 1892, weighing from
the strap rail of 8 pounds to the yard,
to the heaviest 'T"' rail up to 100
pounds to the yard. Among these
records can be found the seven-inch-
high fnot eight rail. and | shall.
take this opportunity to jolly your
correspondent, that he did not use a
u. S. standard rule when he measur-
ed this rail. The strap Cor snake
head) was in use in 1881 and meas
ured 2 inches wide and "a of an inch
thick. The same rear a IT. rail was
put in use in the line, weighing SO
pounds to the yard, 3h inches in
height, and 81 inches base. In 1892
the rail was increased in weight to 40
pounds to the yard. In 1895, AZ
pounds to the yard; in 1916, So
pounds to the yard; and in 1S4S, so
pounds to the yard. This rail was Z
inches high, with A ~ inch base. In
1892 the Pennsylvania railroad put
in the Al.boy division a rail weighing
100 pounds to the yard, with a
height of 5h inches, and the base
S " inches wide.
Now, Mr.. Editor, in closing these
remarks on ,~railroadlng, | have a
word of CRITICISM to make. 1t is in
reference to the John Bull" of more
recent date that was built in England
and put on the lineiof the Pe%nnsylva-
mia railroad. After the above road
was satisfied as to its merits, it was
turned over to the Central railroad
of New Jersey, and on its first run
down the Long Branch road | had
an opportunity of looking it over and
went down the line with 1t. The
conductor was very much elated over
the ease in which he made his time.

Burr lNGTON ACCIDENT.

This accident was at the first cross
road east of Burlington, known for
years as the Heniken crossing, and
the siding and the whistle referred
to by r, was named after the doctor.
This whistle was secured to n or
the steam ports in the cylinder, and
every fourth exhaust it blew a blast.
1t was soon abandoned, as it became
a public nuisance. This accident oc-
Cured in 1855, and was known as
the Burlington accident. A number
of lives were sacrificed and a goodly
number injured. The officials of the
road were much censured at h time,
as there was a siding at this point,
md the switch had been spiked and
the svritchman removed. Israel Ad-
ans, engineer of No. 40, was backing
for a siding, on a single track and
without telegraph service, to give the
right of way to Emanuel Perry. en-
gineer of No. so. Both engineers
had mail trains. The doctor was
crossing at the time, and his carriage
was run down by Adams, derailing a
number of coaches. A singular in
cident occurred. Engineer Adams
was grasping his throttle lever, and
the impact forced him back, pulling
his throttle valve wide open, and the
locomotive was forced back on the
derailed coaches, and before he could
GOV his balance and close the
valve added much to the damage.
