The majority of the switch engine jobs start at 7 o'clock A. M., and a man has to be there thirty minutes before leaving time. He is supposed to see that all the necessary supplies are on the engine, take care of the fire, examine the water in the tank, fill his lights in the cab, and by the time he has performed that duty, why, it is almost ready to leave. He may draw a can of drinking water, fresh water to drink out of, and by that time the engineer has already oiled around and done his necessary work upon the engine, and it will be about time to leave.Mr. Phillips: Is this work necessary in the preparation of the engine for the day's service?About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
