LIFE OF LOCOMOTIVES.
Some Engines Built in 1858 Still I'm
Operation.

Some Engines Built i'm 1858 Still in
Operation.
Milwaukee Journal.
What becomes Of all the old loco
motives?
During the last two years more To-
comotives have been dismantled at the
West Milwaukee shops of the Mil.
waukee road than in any fve-year
period. Engines that were built as
far back as 1851, were finally sent to
the scrap heap. But only in rare
cases does it happen that an engine
is wholly dismantled.. For. unlike an
automobile, there are no annual
models or short lived engines The
life of a locomotive Is practically in
definite.
There are still in operation today
locomotives that were built as far
back as 1855. But this four wheel
type engine is being discontinued, for
the cost OF their upkeep Is too great
1t Is for this reason that practically
all engines built prior to 1895 are
destined for the crap pile
A locomotives life is indefinite be-
cause 1t is continually being over
hauled and rebuilt. Just as soon as
certain parts become worn. they are
replaced by soCalled secondhand ma
terial.
In cases where 1t would not be
economical to rebuild an engine or to
replace its worn parts. as in colli-
sions. explosions and broken frames.
the locomotive is dismantled. and it's
boiler with other uSable parts are
sent to the storeroom to he kept as
secondhand material.
The unusable parts are cut up to
he sold as junk iron. This socalled
secondhand material is kept in the
storehouse until a locomotive Of a
type similar to that from which the
particular part was removed, finds
that ii needs the part to replace one
that has been worn out. for the parts
of all locomotives of one type are
interchangeable.
one OF the engines that was
stripped at the West Milwaukee shops
last year was built in 1867, vet on
none OF the parts the original date OF
1867 could be found Instead were
found the dates on which other en- =
gines OF the same type had been COM
pleted and which were long disman-
tied. This showed that the life OF an
engine can be made indefinite by the
continual replacement OF worn parts.

that the discovered ship is of a small

graphic error. The ship referred to
is the "Oseberg ship discovered at

is the finest and best preserved OF the
