Show Fed Locomotive with Fence Ralls. The failure of hard coal as a fuel for a locomotive gave passengers on a Delaware & Eastern train a novel experience recently, says a Middle-town Middle-town (N. Y.) correspondent. The coal furnished for the engine was so line that It sifted through the grates of the engine, and near Orcgorytown the Are went out and tho train was stalled. The male passengers, when they heard tho trouble, got out and helped tho train .crew demolish nearby near-by fence rails to obtain fuel. With this the train was carried along for some distance, and then another foraging for-aging party secured a new aupply of fuel. After Beveral stops the train reached a point where proper fuel could bo obtained. |
