It will be rememberedthat the engineering department had quite a proD^lem to meet in designing this machine, and we willbriefly restate this problem: It was necessary to design a machine which,. PILE DRIVER CAR—L. S. & M. S. a good, serviceable pile driver, must be acar when ready to travel on the road, and be cap-able of being coupled as such into any regulartrain and take its chances along with any otherequipment. While it would lie used principallyon renewal work, and at such would work to bet-ter advantage with the leads close to the car, itmust be capable of an extension for new work,washouts, etc. (it was given an extension of 16 ft.),and also a side scope for work outside of the tracks(it was given a side scope of 30 ft.). Moreover, asmuch of its work was to be done at a distance froma dodging track, and as it is necessary to use allavailable time on busy tracks, and as wires andother overhead obstructions are very often foundbetween its working place and dodging track, itmust be able to raise and lower its leads withinitself, and in the very quickest possible feature to be met was. that as the engin-eers department
