If the side rods are notdamaged they should be left up. In all cases of broken tires the driver brake shouldbe cut out. A full train can be handled when the breakis on a front tire. Middle Tire. If a middle driving tire breaks itwill be necessary to block the engine in the mannerdescribed and as shown in Plate 87, and to proceedwithout a PLATE 87. Back Tire.
