Lifting a Good SizedBoulder If material coversthe track, head theAmerican into thesHde on a flat car, cast-ing over if it is a side-liillcut. If it is a throughcut and the materialco\ers the track theAmerican can pick upthe material in front anddeposit it either onto a flat or into a dump car in the rear. A dump car serves admirably in this work, as it can be taken out to end of the cut and dumped very quickly and set back to the machine, with very little loss of maximum digging radius of 30 ft. 6 in. from center of track gi\-es ample room for future slides, without their co\ering the track. Or the American will work right into the slide under its own power, on the standard gauge track, casting over as it clears the way.
