the order given by Commodore Van
derbilt to strip off every bit of brass
ornamentation from the locomotive
engines and to paint them all black
or some dark color.
Up to the time Commodore Van
derbilt gave that order many of the
railroad managers of the United
States took especial pains TO have
their locomotives attractive TO the
eye. Sometimes these adornments
were excessive A locomotive looked
very handsome when starting out
upon its trip with polished
brass adornments. brilliantly-pain
smokestack and with other attractions
due to polish and embellishments.
'Rut in order to keep the locomo-
tives in good appearance great deal
of time was entailed upon the en-
gineers. In only a few cases did they
object, for the engineer of those
early days was proud of the appear
ance of his engine. especially II ne
had run one for long time. He
would polish the brass until it glisten-
ed so that you could see your lace
reflected in it. He wonld see to II
that the paint was kept bright, ana
there was a sort of emulation among
these engineers to have the reputa-
ton of running the handsomest loco
motive engine to be found anywhere.
zone day the commodore was riding
from New York to Hartford. They
changed engines at that time at New
Haven. The commodore left the
train for a few moments to chat with
a friend upon the platform and he
saw an engine back down to take the
New York train from New Haven to
Springfield The snokestaek was
painted scarlet, the brass adornments
were as highly polished as any brass
ornaments in fashionable shop
would be. The commodore observed
that the engineer. while waiting for
the conductors command, took a piece
of cloth and scrubbed a bit OF brass
near the cab window so that he might
get a still higher polish.
"That incident set the commodore
to thinking. When he returned TO
New York he made inquiries and
found that the engineers on his line
were constantly occupied when not
running their locomotives with polish
ing up the brass and cleaning the
paint.
"He said to me that he thought Il
was all a waste of time as well as
an unnecessary expense. He thougnt
a locomotive engine should be built
for work and not to make pretty
spectacle. He told me that he mad
decided to rive the order which would

strip the engines of their brass adron-
ments and which would cover them
with dark serviceable paint.
HE did give that order, and al
though the engineers did not at first
like it yet they afterward confessed
that it was very sensible order and
that they realized that it was waste
of time to polish up brass adorn-
ments. Other railroads followed the
commodore's example. and it was
only two or three years later that he
was informed that the New Haven
railroad had painted its scarlet
smokestacks over with black paint
and had taken off the names which
they attached to locomotive. Venus,
Comet. Jupiter, Mars, Mercury. etc,
and put in place of these names plain
numbers | have always thought,
continued Mr. Clark that it was
Commodore Vanderbi1t's order which
gave the first suggestion to the rail-
road unions which resulted in estab-
fishing rules which provide the clean
ers take care of locomotives, so that
an engineer has nothing TO do with
his engine till he jumps aboard the
car for his run or after the run IS
