“ While they scrapped, old Tom, back on 177, swore audibly, while traveling men, who knew the road, left the train and hurried up to the hotel to supper.
It was smooth sledding for the goat until she struck the wet rail. ”

“ By this time, the road engines were on dry sand. One more run and they shot the goat over to switch. The brakeman and the yardmaster were still struggling for the switch when Carr's fireman threw it over and the two Grants backed into clear.
When the officials had succeeded in pulling Killeen from the brakeman, the goat backed down, coupled on, and took the freight in off the main line; No. 7 pulled up to the station fifteen minutes late.
Hill and Carr were in bad.
The law of the rail is to obey orders on the road and kick after. ”

“ You still have two minutes to save your job."
All three of the engines were blowing off. Hill beckoned Killeen up under the cab window and told him to ask Carr. As Killeen went back, Hill's fireman dropped off, and picked up the pilot-bar of the 217. As he did so, Hill pushed forward, and, before the yard engineer knew what had happened, they were all coupled up. ”
