The Western Maryland Railroad has
one OF the most unique collections of
locomotives, great and small, IN the
country. The company has engines

big ones, and II has them so big that
they look almost like metal mountains

masses Of steel and clouds OF roaring
steam.
Take a ride up to New York some
morning, and standing on the track
at Fulton Station, waiting to get into
the tunnel, you will find little old 81

She looks almost like toy, but she Is
a hustler all the same, and every
morning she Is up the line gathering
up the days supply Of milk. From
Porters to York Is another little fell

other light engine Of the 80" series
in use between Edgemont and Waynes-

burg, which gives excellent service.

was playing on saddle which had
been laid across a pole, when he fell
off and struck the ground, breaking
the tip off his elbow and also break
ing his arm right in the joint. When
DR.. Page was called he found the
break so complicated that he took
the little chap to st. Mary's hospital
Walla Walla, to get assistance in set
ting the bone, after which he brought
him back TO his home. Today the
boy Is doing nicely.
