roading.
1.-The best piece of railroad work I ever
heard of" he said. was performed in
1864 in Maryland. The Confederates were
in great need of a locomotive, and their
only hope was to capture one. So a small
band Of men was selected from Lees
army and placed under the command OF
a tall Georgian who had been foreman of
quarry and knew a good deal about
derricks and rigging.
well, the Georgian took his men into
Maryland. they tore up section OF the
B. and o. tracks. tagged the first train.
and. with nothing but rope. dragged a
locomotive fifty-seven miles up hills.
across streams. through woods and
swamps. I'LL they struck line built by
the Confederacy.
When the president OF the b. and o.
heard OF this feat he wouldn't believe
It. He went out and personally inspected
the route and he said on his return that
it was the most wonderful piece OF engi-
neering that had ever been accomplished.
