Rock on Track Delays
Eastern; Narrow Escape

The eastern train with Engineer
Jack McCabe at the throttle left Cha
ma yesterday afternoon one hour and
ten minutes late, the train losing forty
five minutes in the trip over Cumbres.
The track is SO soft on account OF
the recent storms that 1t is almost i'm
possible to make up time, since small
rocks and pieces of the scenery that
fall from the sides of the cuts on to
The track are a common occurrence.
No. 115 was, however. holding her
own and running along at fairly
good rate as the train rounded the big
curve Just the other side OF Ignacio.
The engine footed warning signal
and as quick as possible slowed down
within few hundred feet of rock
weighing some hundreds of tons, sit.
ting square on the track. What the
result would have been had the en-
gine struck the obstacle It is not pleas.
ant to think.
Powder was placed on top OF the
rock and covered with tamp of earth
and fired Two heavy shots were nee.
essary to break the monster. and be.
fore the debris could be cleared from
the track, fifty-six minutes had been
consumed. 1t is doubtful whether the
passengers realized the danger or the
narrow escape they had, which is just
as well. But the trainmen knew, and
the quick eye. and the rapid action
in operating the reverse lever and the
air brakes saved the situation,
But what OF that?" trainman
would say. "It's our duty and no
more than we are here for" As a
class they won't talk except to those
who understand. The big risks and
the demands their hazardoue work
makes On them are all In the days
