By moving the engine, both sidescan be skidded up at the same time. When the truckframe is raised sufficiently, an oak tie should be placedon top of the rails and under both sides of the truckframe, just ahead of or behind the pair of wheels withthe broken journal. The truck frame should then be letdown, so that it rests on top of the tie, and secured witha chain. The wheels with the broken journal shouldthen be removed or fastened in such a manner that theycan do no further damage (Plate 83), the tank skiddedto the nearest siding and assistance sent PLATE 83.
