IN THE ROUNDHOUSE THE ATTENTION THAT IS BESTOWED UPON THE LOCOMOTIVES. Conrtunt anil < areful Grooming Hpquired by the Great Iron Horkm of the Hail— Hom the Tires of the • Big Driviutf \\ heels Are Tightened. ' Any one at all familiar with rail- ! j roads has seen the engineer dis> ■ nr.t ' from the cab. oil can In hand, as soon as the train has come to a stop nt some way station: seen him walk slowly about the ponderous machine, feeling of each bearing with bis free hand us be tilled the cups with oil; seen him per- ! baps tap a valve gently with a wrench I or examine critically some ill working air pump. To any man all this Is Interesting, but how many are there in all the vast crowd that enter the city daily nt the great terminals who can tell offhand what becomes of the train when once the cars are emptied of the passengers? i To be sure, they have seen the cars on a siding out in the yard. They know perhaps that u roundhouse is a place where engines are kept when not hi actual use. But beyond this the ideas of the ordinary man are a bit hazy. As soon as the passengers have left i a train that has just come In from a i long dusty run it Is backed out luto | the yard, and the cars are set off on a side track. Men go upon them at once , and begin to put them in readiness for ; the next trip. The windows are wash- | ed, cars freed from all filth amt dirt. I | seats cleaned, water tanks cared for and the lighting apparatus put In order. The locomotive, after leaving the cars, proceeds at once to the roundhouse, where the ponderous machine also receives a proper overhauling First of all. the tanks are filled with water and the fuel supply is replenished. Then a few puffs bring the fire box above the ash pit, where the fires are cleaned and dumped altogether. The next thing is to stable the great Iron horse. The roundhouse Itself is a most uninviting place, with its soot begrimed walls and smoky interior. These buildings are all constructed on the same general lines, low. one story structures, generally built of brick and semicircular in shape. The center of the circle is the center of the turntable. Ar- I ranged along the Inner 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 unlike a I spider's web, the center of which is the turntable. The turntable itself consists of a pit waul'd with stone, across which is a bridge free at the ends, but balanced at | the center on a spindle. Kails are laid across this, as if it were a part of the ; roadbed. I When the fires of the locomotive have been cared for the engineer runs his machine upon the table. With deft hand at the throttle, he brings It to a stop at the precise point where the hundred tons of steel balance on the spindle that supports the bridge. Then the ponderous mass is slowly revolved until the required track is reached and tlfe engine is backed into the round- ' bouse. 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 need- I ed. and be can go home, assured that his machine will be ready for him when he starts on the next run. The engine is now turned over to the roundhouse crew, who go to work on it at once. The attention that a locomotive receives on arrival at the roundhouse is about the same that 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 every way. Throughout this work keen watch Is kept for any signs of broken parts, and I any found are repaired. The hundred | or more Hues are cleaned by steam I pressure. An engine seldom conies to the house that does not need repairs of some sort The delicate mechanism Is constantly becoming broken, and unceasing attention Is required. One of the most interesting of all the repairs that are made in the round house is the tightening of the tires on the drive wheels. Each wheel is sur rounded with a heavy steel tire. These occasionally work loose, and it becomes necessary that they be tightened without sending the locomotive to the ■bops. To do this a stream of oil Is fed automatically upon the tire and allowed to burn as It runs down. The result Is that the whole rim is soon a circle of flame. This Is kept up for a long time, and the tire, being heated 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 clutches the wheel hard and fast. The cumbersome repairs, such as turning down worn drive wheels and replacing boilers, go to the shops, where lathes, cranes and forges are to be had. But nil the minor troubles are remedied nt the "stables,” and the foreman of the roundhouse is responsible for the condition of the engines. He Is the man to whom all look In an emergency. and it Is he who must look forward and jilan for the repairs In such a wuy ns not to interfere with the regu lar operation of the trains.—Boston Globe. When men speak 111 of thee, live so that nobody will believe them.—Plato.
