So much time isconsumed that regular train service often interferesfurther with the working time; and as a consequencethe material is unloaded any place to get rid of it, oftenwhere it is not needed, while the place that does needit is neglected. The dump car train can go out to endof the cut and dump, shoot back into the cut andwork until smoke of the train they are to clear for isin sight, then get out of the way. Here is another saving: A light engine that willpull this train can be used without its being necessaryto take a heavier engine from freight sevice that would be required to pulltrain. The machine op-erating expense is less, asthere is no occasion toshift the portable tracksections and a laborer isnot required to assist inmoving them. Themachine operator andfireman usually completethe machine and ditch-ing crew. This methodmight appeal to the newroad not yet equippedwith flat cars. the heavier flat car work.
