HOW THE TRAINS RUN
ROCK ISLAND TIME CARD.
Objective June |. 1900

All trains arrive and depart from
Benton street station. opposite the
postoffice.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1911-09-03

YOU hurried to the ticket gate on your
way to the train. noticed a small cleo
fr,c light bulb burning, and realized from
YOUR watch that 1t was close to train
time? Or, just once again, have you ever
noticed. provided you stayed behind, that
after all the people had passed through
the gate the gateman went and turned
key in a lock just before or after he shut
the gate and that as a consequence an
other little electric light bulb lit up?
All this means something, and it is
closely, very closely, in fact, connected
with your departure.
All of these several things take place
every time train leaves Washington, eX-
cepting, of course. those which are SIM
ply passing through WASHINGTON to and
from other points. And what is more,
they are all important factors in getting
the train out on time, and also in getting
II out properly, as they are links in
gigantic chain which. through the me
dunn of modern electricity, forms 50 i'm
portant a feature of railroading today.
One minute before train is ready to
pull out of the Union station the con-
ductor goes to the little arrangement
before mentioned and turns a key in
lock. That closes an electrical contact
what is known as + tower, a structure
about half mile beyond the station
from which point all the trains leaving
the station are switched on to their proper
tracks As soon as the light appears
in n tower a nam there answers i T.:
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1911-09-03

pushing a button. which in turn lights
the top light in the post where the con-
ductor has just turned his key and also
the top light by the side of the ticket
gate where one enters to get TO the
trains. That tells the gateman that he
has not to exceed one minute in getting
the passengers for that train through
and he has to hustle. 10 do it. Then.
when his work is done. he turns a key
in lock. That lights the lower light
in the conductors arrangement, ano the
lower light in the tower board. All those
concerned thus know that that particular
train is ready to leave and within
few seconds after all this has taken
place she steams from the station
The board on which these lights are
registered in K tower is an interesting
instrument. It contains thirty-two rows
of lights. three deep. Each light is
numbered consecutively. and represents
track leading from the station. Thus
if the train pulling out is on eleven
track, when the conductor turns his key
it will be the light in the eleventh row
which lights up. And the same row
lights up when the gateman turns his
key. BY this arrangement It is possible
for persons connected with the departure
of the train to communicate with each
other in the quickest possible manner.
All this however. is but one part Of the
work of sending train on its way, and
is but one of the many functions which
the men in tower have to perform.
Primarily X tower is what is known in
railroading as a switch tower and is
one of hundreds of similar structures of
varying sizes which are dotted all along
the lines of the railroad routes. Within
mile of Union station there are three-k.
c and A towers. named according to their
size. 1t is estimated that at X tower
alone there are 200 operations made
each day In connection with switching
trains At c and A towers about eight
or nine hundred constitute DAYS work.
BY days work it must be understood to
mean the entire tWenty-four hours. In
the work of these three tow
erS twenty-five men are required, the
force being made up of train directors,
a assistant train directors and lcvermen.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1911-09-03

tive to the arrival OF trains. among ~---er
things. As soon as word is received tina.
a certain train will be late news to that
effect is sent to X tower. For his pur-
pose an instrument is used which records
handwriting, called a telautograph. lie
news, then received at X tower, ia on
turn sent to either A or c tower. accord
ing TO which the train in question VIII
pass first. Thus at each tower they know
just when TO expect trains.
Another method Is also used. In K
tower are several clock-lke arrange
ments. Instead of having the hours show,
their place Is taken up with words which
indicate the various railroads traversii-s
the tracks, and the different kinds OF
trains running, as, for instance, passen-
ger. freight or light engine. When train
approaches an outlying town notifies IL
tower OF the approach of such train by
pushing a button. That rings bell and
sends the. small hand around until It In
dicates just what is approaching. Word
is then sent to the other towers and
preparations made accordingly.
BY these various methods the men In
X tower are aware OF Just what Is TAX
ing place within their jurisdiction. they
must of course. know the exact destina-
ton of trains in order to switch them
on the proper tracks. or must know what
is to be done with coaches or engines not
going out immediately. For such In
formation the telephone is used in addi-
ton 70 the automatic writing machine
The day is made up of three eisht-hour
shifts of these the early morning and
first shift have the heaviest work. Traf-
fic is at its heaviest between $50 and
10 in the morning. and then again in
tie afternoon around 3 O'Clock. At X
tower there are fire men on duty from
in the morning until 4 in the afternoon
four men during the other two shifts
At c tower a train director and two
levermen make up the force. while at A
tower one man is sufficient for each shift

nected with this work requires absolute

a picturesque personality At a glance
it can be seen that he has led free
and adventurous life and that he
would be happy wrapped In his
journey from civilization as in a mil
lionaire's suite at the Ritz Hotel in
London.
Seated on a camp bedstead, with his
legs swinging, wearing a red jersey,
cycling Knockers and miners SLOUGH
hat, he told of his plans and hopes.
In personal appearance, with his
iaunty red beard, his cigar tilted
fiercely upward and his air of deter
mination, he is as like Capt Kettle"
as any man out of fiction can be.
He made the writer free of his tent.
1t is a replica in every way of his
canvas home in the Klondike. A pair
of brass scales for weighing the gold
standing on a little table By the side
of his bunk. gave a businesslke note
and everything in the tent is for strict
utility rather than ornament, with the
exception of a violin, which shows that
in moments of relaxation the miner
can turn into music his dream of home.
Mr. Heath showed at once a quantity
of gold, pure and unmistakable, which
he has already won from the brook
which ripples by a few feet from the
camp. Then he took the writer round
and the latter saw what is being done
in the only gold mining camp which
is at present being actively worked in
Great Britain.
All along the banks Of the Suisgill
stream and a tiny tributary which
still bears the name of the Gold
Burn" given to it by the hopeful pros
pectors of forty years ago. there are
cuttings now overgrown with heather
and vegetation where the early camp
ers once worked in primitive fashion
washing the old bed of the stream in
tin pOrridge bowls. But Mr.. Heath,
with wide knowledge of alluyial gold
mining. is now working on well or
ganized and scientific system. He has
prospected the streams in which traces
of color" can be found by any novice
who cares to dip. and at the richest
places he has set his amateur miners at
work digging deep trenches across the
valley which was the old bed of the
burn, before, with the passing of the
ages, it cut out for itself a fresh chan
mel At two points Mr.. Heath has built
dams of sandbags with broad wood
en- opening on one side to release some
of the pent-up water and on the other
side a sliding wooden shutter regulat-
ing tiny stream which can be made
Ito trickle at will down long narrow
wooden troughs, which are the "sluice
boxes" in which the stream is made to
wash the gold in the pay dirt emptied
into them. The heavy weight of the
gold dust causes 1t to sink below wood
en- racks which line the bottom of the
sluice boxes. and the stream which
carries away the gravel and dirt leaves
the glittering particles of gold swirl
ing in the black sediment below
X X
1t was a curious sight to see gray
bearded Scotch peasants, one or two
of whom worked here as gold diggers
forty years ago. wandering up and
down the stream, tin pan in hand,
prospecting all the likely places.
Only one or two shooting lodges and
a lonely shepherds hut here and there
are within a dozen miles of the Duke
of Sutherland's camp. The Kildonan
stream, however, draws sporting noble
