Compelled to do his work by primi

but little since the beginning of rail
roading, the railroad trackman ha
long ranked as the poorest paid and
most unfavorably altuated of all la
borers. In recent yours a change has
been taking place, u change that Is
fast iiliielnir the trackman in the Ditsi
tlon that tu sum aim experience mm
the importance of his work entitles
him to that of a skilled mechanic.
As in many other lines of work this
change Is due to Just one cause, the
introduction of power-driven ssachln
ery for doing the work formerly done
by buck-breaking hand labor.

to the men engaged In the work is
easily understood by anyone who has
witnessed the laborious ordeal of
pumping an old-time handcar. Start
ing the day's work by pumping such
a car over from four to six miles of
truck, some of It upgrade. Is enough
to destroy the efficiency of any group
of men for the remainder of the day.
On some of the most progressive rail
roads the section men now tide to
their work osj a gasoline car that is
capable of saaking a speed of a
much as 90 miles an hour. Win n they
reach their work they are a fresh

ridden to bis office hi an automobile.
Two other machines that are rap
idly coming into use and that are re
lieving the trackman of much heavy
work formerly done by hand are the
gasoline welder and the gasoline mow
ing amebian. Both of these machines
are proving profltshle for the compa
nies that have installed them.
What is probubty the most Import
ant innovation in track work Is the
pneumatic tamper now being intro
duced, ht is now known that ma
chine taiaping costs less than one
third as nrach as hand tamping, and
that track tamped with the machine
settles approximately one-balf as

ployed on Grade Between Orl-

The operation of the 4 per cent
grade between Orizaba and Bsperanzu
Is Interesting from the use of locomo
tives of the Fulrlle duplex double-
boiler type. The latest of these en
glnes, built by the Vulenn Iron Works
In England, have six 48-lnch driving
wheels under each end, with a wheel
bae of 0 feet SI inches for the entire
engine. The weight Is about IBS- net
tons in working order, with n tractive
power of 511,184 pounds. The four cyl
Inilers are 10 by 28 Inches. The boiler
Is a single structure having two bar
rels 4 feet Inches In diameter, set
buck to back, each with a firebox 5
feet 4 11-10 inches by '. feet Gfc Inches

boxes, there is no division above the

nvallublo for adhesion, and with the
short rigid wheel bnse they can tra
verse sharp curves safely and with a
minimum of tire wear. The artlculu
tlon of the underfrnmc and the sup
ports of the hollers provide for free
movement longitudinally and vertical

glnes of practically the same dlmen

All freight trains are handled with
two engines, one at enrh end. Train

No country in the world is so well

For each of these outfits there Is at
least one Intelligent operator, so that

The government at Washington has

There is probably no place where

i'he following Is one of many Illustra

few summers ago, the engineer of
a local passenger train ambling along
an one of our branch line of the

illacovered a brlndle cow contesting
the right of way. She was standing

turned and proceeded calmly down
the track followed by the fireman pelt
ing her with stones, hut without effect
Meantime the train slowly followed:
The performance continued for posgl

discovered a diminutive calf strug
