It's a great no". builder.--" The cumbersome repairs, such as turn- ing down worn drive wheels and replac- ing boilers, go to the shops, where the lathes, cranes and forges are to be had. But all the minor troubles are remedied at the "shahles," and the foreman of the round-house is responsible for the condi- tion of the engines. He is the man to whom all look in an emergency and it is he who must look forward and plan for the repairs in such a way as not to interefere with the regular operation of the trains. To do this a stream of oil is fed auto. matically upon the tire and allowed to burn as it runs down. 1he result is that the whole rim is soon a circle of flame. That is kept up for a long time, and the tire, being hosted faster than the wheel itself on account of the proximity of the fire, expands until the thin pieces of sheet iron can be inserted between the wheel and the tire. When the tire has again become cold it contracts and then clutches the wheel hard and fast. One of the most interesting of all the repairs that are made in the round-house is the tightening of the tires on the big drive wheels. Each wheel is surrounded with a heavy steel tire. Those constant- ly work loose, and it becomes necessary that they be tightened without sending the locomotive to the shops. Throughout this work keen watch is kept for any signs of broken parts, and any found are repaired. The hundred or more fines are cleaned by steam pres- sure. An engine seldom comes to the house that does not need repairs of some sort. The delicate mechanism is constantly be. coming broken, and uneeaaing attention is required. l The engine is now turned over to the round-house crew, who go to work on it int once. The attention that a locomo- 'tive receives on arrival at the round- house is about the some as one would expect to see bestowed upon a, race horse. Wipers go over every inch of the surface carefully. removing all dust and oil. Others drop into the pit beneath the machine and wipe the running gear. The headlight is carefully cared for and the brass polished. In fact, the whole machine is put in first-class shape in ev- ery way. Once within the house the engineer's duty is done. He has but to go to the office and report in a book prepared for the purpose any repairs that are needed, and he can go home assured that his ma- chine will be ready for him when he goes on the next run. When the fires of the locomotive nave been cared for the engineer runs his ma.- chine upon the table. With deft hand at the throttle he lyings it to a stop at the precise point where the hundred tons of steel balance on the spindle that sup- mass is slowly" revolved untii the}; quired track is reached and the engine is backed into the roumihouse. ports .the bridge. T.heai thi, oaiiiL The turntable itself consists of a pit walled with stone, across which is a. bridge free at the ends but balanced at the centre on a spindle. Rails are laid across this, as if it were part of the roadbod. ' The roundhouse itself is a most unin- viting place, with its soot-begrimed walls (and smoky interior. These buildings are all constructed on the same general lines, low, one-storey structures. generally are built of brick and semicircle in shape. The centre of the circle is the centre of the turntable. Arranged along the in- ner side of the building is a line of doors, each exactly like its neighbor. Under each runs a track of standard gauge, giving the whole an appearance not my like a spider's web, the centre of which is the turntable. ’ The locomotive, after leaving the cars, iproeeeds at once to the roundhouse, where the ponderous machines also re- ceives a proper overhauling. First of all the tanks are filled with water and the fuel supply is replenished. lhen a few puffs bring the fire-box above the ash. pit, where the fires are cleaned and dumped all together. The next thing Is to stable the great iron horse. T As soon as the passengers have left a train that has just come in from a long dusty run it is backed off on a side track and men go upon them at once and be- gin to put them in readiness for the next trip. The windows are washed, cars freed from filth and dirt, seats are cleaned, water tanks earvd for and the lighting apparatus put in order. “Anyone at all familiar with railroads! has seen the engineer dismount from the] cab, oil can in hand, as soon as the train has come to a stop at some way station; l seen him walk slowly about the ponders 1 [ans machine, feeling of each bearing with his free hand as he filled the cups with oil; Been him, perhaps, tap a valve gent- ly with a wrench or examine critically some ill-working air pump. r: _ - L"---.'" To any man all this is interesting, but how many are there in all the vast crowd that enter the city daily at the great terminals who can tell offhand ‘what becomes of the train when once the cars are emptied of the passengers? To be sure they have seen the cars on a. siding out in the yard. They know, per- haps, that a roundhouse is a place where engines are kept when not in natural use. But beyond this the ideas of the ordinary man are a bit hazy. ‘In do Bnptut church,’ wu the tut. Was in the Navy. TORONTO “MW t' mlnn tttst'" Newspaper Censor on the Bench. (New York World.)
