One day the draw was open-the
United States government inspectors
We're at work upon it. But one of the
engineers, with a contempt for that
lazy sign of danger at the distance board,
came down upon it with a long freight
at forty miles an hour. 1t took ten min
utes to fish him out of the river, and ten
hours to get the locomotive out
But Freeman has high regard for
signals. He never permits them to become
monotonous.
"lf ever | get that way, I'll know it
myself" says he, "and it will be high time
for me to get out.
After all, his service on this extra fast
train may not exceed ten years. A man
whose nerve was not iron and his physique
steel could not last in it one third of that
time. According to the insurance figures
of the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers, to which Freeman and most of
his fellows belong, eleven years and seven
days is the average length of service for
an engineer upon an American railroad.
The railroad managers figure it a little
differently and place the average at some
thing over twelve years. And out in
the West, where the railroads span the
mountains and thread the cafions, the
man in the engine-cab will rarely last
more than six years.
Of course. the situation varies on differ
ent railroads Before me lies the report
of the Boston & Albany-impressive
for the length of service of its engineers.
1t is the habit of that railroad to give an
nual passes to the employees who have
been in its service more than fifteen
years. More than half of its engineers
receive such passes. And early in the
present year it retired from active service
Engineer James w. Chamberlain, who
had been in its employ more than fifty
three years. And for dozen years past
Chamberlain had been plotting two of

and Springfield You can not always rely

the fireman, as we near the freight-yards

clear and open, would have cost fifteen
minutes or more. If the practice were
repeated, and even if his detention
sheets showed that the time lost was
due to stopping at a signal that was out
of order, he would not be censured-
oh, no. But there would be new man
on that run-a man who had the repu-
tation of bringing his train in on time
$50 Signals Between New York
and Washington
FREEMAN tells another story. Free
man says that he never ran past
red signal in his life, and that he could
not have held his run on the Limited for
five long years if he had not been in the
habit of bringing her in "in her time.
Freeman speaks good word for the sig
nails. You take note of it. Then you
remember that, in the arbitration be-
tween the fifty-three railroads in the
Eastern territory and the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers two or three
years ago, the engineer of the Congress
sional Limited testified that, in the five
hour run from the national capital up to
the outskirts of New York, he had to
read and understand and observe ex-
actly $50 signals.
On Freeman's road they do not penalize
man for failing to make his time by
finding some other excuse and then
quietly removing him from his run. On
the contrary, there are maximum speed
limits for every mile of the main line
and its branches.
The steady tendency of all Ameri-
can roads during the past ten years
has been toward the engthening of
schedules rather than shortening them.
The two whirlwind trains between New
York and Chicago now take twenty
hours for the trip. instead of eighteen,
as was the case when they We're first in
stalled. The famous run of the Jarrett
and Palmer special in 1876, from Jersey
City to Oakland on San Francisco Bay,
in four days fiat, still stands almost as a
transcontinental record, while the fast
est running ever accredited to Il locomo-
tive-ll212 miles an hour, by Il New
York Central locomotive with four ears,
for short distance between Rochester
and Buffalo-was accomplished more
than twenty years ago.
"We've passed the sixty mark" shouts
Freeman's fireman into your ear. You
look ahead at the curving track. Curry
ing? Forever curving. And each time
it swerves, and the path that we are
eating up at the rate of lightweight
feet to the second is lost behind the brow
of a hill or through clump of trees, your
heart rises to your mouth and you Won
der if all is well just over there beyond.
And then you remember that the friendly
raised arm of the block semaphore has
said "yes."
The engineers figure is immobile, but
his mind is alert. His touch upon the
throttle is as light as that of child. His
face, half hidden behind his great goggles,
is expressionless. Yet behind those same
protecting glasses the windows of his soul
are open-and watching, watching, for
ever watching the curving track. Some
times the track curves away from his side
of the cab, and then the fireman climbs
up on his seat behind and picks up the
lookout But he does not pick up Free

 Nichols demanded to know why it wouldn't be better to pay even in excess of the laws limit, if by ac- quiring good roads, the depreciation on automobiles could be so materially lowered Another skirmish ensued over the number and value of the laws eyes of Arizona's motor cars.
