shops at the foot of French street,
in 1880.
After one year in that capacity,
he was transferred to the wrecking
department and in 1887 was ap-
pointed wreckmaster, which posi-
tion he held until his retirement.
One of the most serious wrecks
whose clearing he supervised was
that of the plunging of locomotive
and tank through the draw at
Laurel, June 6, 1904. when George
County, engineer of the train. was
instantly killed. The two-masted
schooner Golden Gates" was pass
ing through the draw at the time,
and the locomotive fell on and sank
it. The crew escaped injury. This
wreck required the crew to work
four successive days before It was
cleared and the locomotive was re-
placed on the rails. He also super
vised the clearing of the wreck at
Poplar street crossing in 1908.
Another difficult task confronted
Mr.. VanGasken and his wrecking
crew, when the Baltimore tunnel
caved in, trapping a portion OF two
express trains passing through It.
Mr.. VanGasken said this was a most
fortunate affair as far as the loss of
lives were concerned, no one being
killed or injured, as the cars with /
stood the great pressure of the fall |
ing earth and rock, allowing the !
to pass through the trains |
to the ends Of the tunnel Several |
days were required to remove the !
debris and liberate the trains so that |
traffic could be resumed.
In June, 1920. Mr.. Van Gasken |
and his crew were called upon to |
salvage a large tank car from the 1
Bay. off Cape Charles.
Va 1t had slipped off a float
when being transported from Cape
Charles to Norfolk. II required
hree transportation barges, two for
he large cranes and the other to
'ecelve the car when lifted from the
,ay.
Mr.. Van Gasken said during his
8 years and 1-2 months Of ser
ice as wreck foreman he had been
allied upon to remove many wrecks
rom the tracks at various points. but
q that time very few lives had been
ost due to the accidents.
The first wrecking job after
e Joined the department, Mr.. Van
Iasken said was at Lamokin
tation, January g. 1881. when an !
xpress train. ran irto an accom-
lodation passenger train standing ,
n a siding. As switchman through |
ONE misunderstanding of signals
hrew open the switch to the sid
ng in front of the express, caus-
ng the collision. The only person ,
injured in this accident was Harry ,
Norris, who sustained a broken leg.
The last job done by the crew
inder the direction of Mr.. Van
iaskeD was at the new Wilmington
marine terminal in May of this .
'ear, when he and his crew were :
,alled upon to right a large derrick
hat had been thrown over due TO

When beginning his employment
