Some day this engineer willreap an ample reward, for he has donemany excellent things to get his engineand train into a terminal even thoughadversity had overtaken him. He is agood man to pattern after; watch himclosely, and go thou and do likewise. What can I say that could be done incase the diaphragm, or the diaphragmslide, or plate, falls down and smothersthe engine? Well, this is not a very se-rious failure, from my viewpoint. Open. A FAULTLESS MEETING ON THE DUSTLESS ROAD. the coal hammer and got up on the smokebox and broke off the other two hangerbolts and the pipe fell down, got the rakeand pulled it out, placed it on the backof the tender, replacing the netting trapdoor, closed the smoke box tightly andwas on his way (with the fast freight) inexactly 35 minutes. I will add that this engine took hertrain into terminal, 100 miles, about ontime, and no trouble forsteam. Of course, the engineer under-stood his business, and was perfectly will-ing to act promptly when the accident the smoke box door, get the pinch bar,or anything that will answer the purposeof a pry, insert it under the diaphragm,or plate, pry it up and shove it into oneof the flues. When you have the dia-phragm as high as wanted, then allow theother end of the bar to rest on the flangeof the smoke box door, or block it upon a steam
