RECALL PRIMITIVE DAYS
ON BALTIMORE AND OHIO
Even After so Years the Devel-
Opment was Far From Perfect

". s. Mayors, writing in E. E. Mer-
sedith's do You Remember" depart
-a1ent of the Fairmont wv. Va.) Times
recently, said:
In the early days Of railroading the
B. & 0. having even then been in ex-
Tstence so years or more, was in d
rather primitive stage of develop
Enent-
The rails at that time were made
of soft iron, the Bessemer steel pro-
-leess having not yet been invented, and
were all made in England. They were
about half the weight Of the rails now
~ use and the spices were made of
s1ooden blocks about three feet long.
a1n account of the softness of the iron
the rails wore rapidly and after some
service long slivers, called "snake-
gseads," became detached from the
v2saaring surfaces. A track SO con-
structed would have very short life
i5ra9er the present day ponderous roll
gzg equipment.
Although they were regarded as
Eq9ge monsters at that time the loco
raotjves and cars were corresponding
III light, having about one-fourth the
capacity and weight of the present
equipment.
Passenger coaches were light and
short and were heated in winter by
0FGod- burning stoves. The B. & 0. at
shat time had sleeping cars, not Pull
a1ans, but built and operated by them
selves. Fairmont was at that time on
re1a through line from Baltimore to
tine west and trains were ferried
zss>ross the Ohio River at Benwood.
Ten Wheeiers
Practically all of the freight loco
Enotiyes were ten wheelers of the Ross
Wiaans type with few of the old
@'camel backs" left over. These en-
sgines had boilers sloping downward at
chr rear and on the slopes and at both
zsl3es were stairs leading down to the
fizeman's cab which was on the end of
1he tender. The engineers cab was
@ntirely over the boiler and large
enough to carry small picnic party.
Cylinder oil had not yet come into use
and the cylinder fabrication consisted
q If melted tallow.
Passenger locomotives were things
of beauty in those days with their red
driving wheels, enameled boiler cas-
sngs with polihsed brass bands, brass
ancased domes, sand boxes, steam
chests and other ornamentation.
The car couplings were made up of
simple links and pins and many fng-
ers were smashed by them. These
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1934-01-25

couplings were of various heights on
the different railroads and it often be-
came necessary to use offset or bent
links which were called "goose-necks."
Air brakes were things of the fu-
ture and in train control the engineer
had to rely upon trainmen whose duty
was to set and loosen the hand brakes
upon the whistle signals. These men
thus got the name of "brakemen"
which is scarcely applicable to them
nowadays.
The Fairmont coal field was then
practically undeveloped and l believe
that the entire output came from two
mines-one near the foot of Second
street and the other at the ravine near
the foot of Sixth street. A survey
made by George F. Duck in 1894 of
the Second street mine shows that the
coal was mined in very unsystematic
manner, resulting in some trouble
some settings in recent years.

IMPROVED TRASH
DISPOSAL ASKED
Northeast Citizens Associ-
alton Favors Reopening of
Second Incinerator.

Contending the incinerator in the
Georgetown area does not adequately
serve the whole city, the Northeast
Citizens Association adopted a reso-
luton last night favoring the reopen
ing of the incinerator In the South
east section.
The action was taken at a meeting
in Ludlow School after Evan H.
Tucker, president, explained the views
of the Executive Committee He said
I'VE feel 1t to be a penny-wise policy
not to operate this incinerator since
the mony was expended to built it."
H also said the hauling of trash
long distances through the city con-
stltutes nuisance which would be at
least partially eliminated If the South
east incinerator were reopened. 1t
was further pointed out by members
that the incinerator in Georgetown,
which is located on K street between
Twenty ninth and Thirtieth streets,
is much smaller than the one at First
and o streets southeast.
VIII Forward Resolution.
Copies of the resolution are TO be
sent to the District Commissioners
and to the Appropriations Committees
of each house.
The association indorsed q plan to
improve the water front of the Wash
ington Channel and to make an ex-
tension of driveway to connect Po-
tomac Park and Anacostia. Under
the plan Water street southwest
would be made a wide boulevard. M
street also would be widened from
Water street to Eleventh street south
east. The completed drive then would
run from the Speedway on to Water
street, then on to M street and finally
into Anacostia.
A resolution was passed favoring
the building of the East Capitol Street
Bridge, which would extend from East
Capitol street across the Eastern
Branch to Anacostia.
Gasoline Bill Opposed.
Action on the District gasoline tax
bill now before Congress also was
taken by the group. The members
went on record as opposing this bill,
claiming an additional tax on gaso-
line was unnecessary" in the Dis
trict.
The citizens also complained Of the
street car service since the merger
and passed a resolution demanding
better service. Copies are to be sent
to the Capital Transit Co. and the
Public Utilities Commission.
Other resolutions asked the follow
ing Improvements in the Northeast
section:
Establishment of a branch library
in the area north of H street and east
of Tenth street northeast.
Resurfacing of Seventh street from
Maryland avenue to Florida avenue.
Installation of another electric light
in the alley between C and Goblin
streets and Thirteenth and Four
teenth streets.
Immediate removal of snow and ice
from streets and cutters.
