RAISING AN engine
HOW IMMENSE LOCOMOTIVE WAS
RESCUED At SAN PEDRO.
Railroad Superintendent Devised In
genious Method to Recover Large
Engine Which Had Toppled
Over Into Bay.

While handling a pile driver equip
ment used in rebuilding an old trestle
at San Pedro, Cal, a l2O-ton locomo-
tive broke through it's track, toppled
over the piling supporting the trestle
and fell down a sloping embankment
to the bottom of the bay. 1t went
through 30 feet OF water and half
buried itself, top down, in slime and
mud.
A floating derrick barge with equip
ment powerful enough to raise the en-
CINE Was not available. A local rail-
road superintendent finally devised an
ingenious method by which the big
engine was successfully recovered.
Two barges, each of 20O-ton capac-
ity, We're tloated out oyer the approAi-

each other and united at each end by
two gifders made of three logs Of 20

inch manila rope tied about the piling
and bits. AS each turn of this flashing
was made Il hosting engine was used
to pull the rope tight. A complete
coil Of rope was used at each end of
the girder, and several short lashings
were made between the ends as well.
Before the hosting work started,
some Objectionable pile stulnps had to
be sawed off close to the bottom of
the bay by a diver with a short piece

owing to their depth in the slime.
To support the engine, three clus.
ters of large timbers were rugged
across the barges. Two Of these were
placed at each end and one in the
