Tho new 100 class of engines rccctvod
by tho Union Pacific aro pronounced to
be "great" by the cngincmen. Like
tho majority of new engines received,
they havo been running "hot" but this
will soon bo overcome.
Cattlo shipments aro heavier this
yonr over tho Union Pacific than ever
before in tho history of tho road, the
officials report. It is said that more
stock trains have ben handled this year
already than during nil of last year,
and tho fall stock shipments aru not
yet ovor by any moans.
Conductor Dantler is in somewhat of
n dilemnn. Ho returned to work n few
days ago after several weeks' vacation
and found that he hud eo increased in
weight that ho couldn't get into his
uniform. If ho orders a new suit, he
may again shrink and it would be
valueless; if he docs not vvnsto awny hn
must havo it. Mr. Dentler will bo glad
to havo suggestions as to what ho
should do.
What might havo been a very disas
trous wreck a few miles onst of hero
one night last week was prevented by
tho infallible block system. Leaving
North Platto with No. 4 Engineer Wood
Whito had orders to mret No. 3 at
, Maxwell, which was changed at Keith
to a meet at Hendry instead of Max
well. Engineer Bob Doughif, pulling
No. 3 had orders to meet No. 4 nt Max
well and should havo received nn order
at Brady Island changing tho meet, but
the operator thoro foiled to deliver it.
and as a consequence tho two' heavy
passenger trains met half way botween
Maxwell and Hendry, but as the blocks
stopped them both one-fourth mile
upart no damage was done. Douglas
being nearest to a siding backed up and
traffic, was resumed with not oven a
serious delay. It is needless to sny that
tho operator nt Brady was immediately
discharged.
