track the wheels are travelling at high
speed, and 1t takes skill and strength
to stop them. This is done by the
same method that a cowboy uses in
catching a steer or pony-by lassoing.
Two men, I'M on each side Of the
track, stand ready with wire loops,
md as the wheels dash past them each
throws his loop over the end OF the
axle and then runs and pulls back
until the wheels are stopped. this be-
Ing accomplished usually within a
hundred feet. Occasionally only n
of the loops holds. In that case the
wheels are derailed, with the posi-
bility Of broken legs and other in
inries for anyone that happens to be
In the way.
Another Primitive Method.
The work Of loading Is done by an
equally primitive method. In this
work a steel bar having a fork that
fits over the end Of the axle, and
known as a "wheel stick" Is used.
Starting 200 feet from the car, with
two men to each "wheel stick" the
wheels IRE pushed along the track
with increasing speed until, AZ they
reach the incline. they have the mo-
mentum for mounting to the a floor.
