time II was seen hat the war would prob
ably drag on and Crusen enlisted for three
years more in the same regiment. His regl-
ment received a sound drubbing seven days
after Crusen Joined the ranks. He served
through the war for three years and then
ran a locomotive for the government at
Nashville, Tenn, until the war ended. He
then secured a position as engineer on the
Terra Haute & Richmond road.
W. r. McKeen, father of w. r. McKeen,
jr., OF the K Motor Car company,
was president OF the Vandalia at that time
and Horace O.. Burt, afterwards president

the engine which carried these to the cele-
bration of the completion of the Vandalia
extension to st. Louis, when the last spike
was driven.
After working for fifteen years for the
Vandalia Crusen built a steamboat to try
to compete with the railroads, but soon
lost in the venture all the money he had
saved by years Of hard labor. He then
worked for the Big Four and the Wabash
until 1881, when he received a telegram to
come to Omaha and run an engine on the
Union Pacific. He soon had a regular en-
CINE and a regular run. He named his
engine Soda Water Sal" and that old en-
CINE and some Of its famous runs are still
the talk of the old-timers on the Union
Pacific, sal was a peculiar looking en-
CINE, with a straight boiler, and Its cylin-
ders almost as big as the boiler. Many are
the tales Of experiences with NOW drifts
and Indians and drifting cattle which CRU
sen can tell when in a reminiscent mood.
At one time Soda was running in a bliz-
Yard and became stuck at Lodge Pole and
could get no further, George billiard was
sent from Sldney/to help him out. They
reached Cotton, when lOl struck seven yoke
Of oxen and killed all but one. He tells
