Locomotive Breakdowns and Engine Diagnostic Details
A railroad engineer explains how he detects a break on a 40 mile per hour engine with a passenger train. He notes that a broken valve or reverse lever disrupts the engine’s rhythmic motion, causing a jerk or abnormal rattle, while issues in the cylinder or main rod cause the frame to lurch. The first action is to stop the engine.
Wheel turns with break prompt escalating gear damage
A terse instruction urges increasing harm with every turn of a wheel after a break. It mentions lathe pins, valves, and link connections as points of damage escalating with continued operation. The wording implies mechanical failure as a deliberate aim across successive turns.

In Grant county Prairie City residents and farmers survey forming an independent telephone company to connect Prairie City John Day and Canyon City with rural lines to ranches and springs. Backed by local business and farming interests, the plan targets expansion across the valley and ties to an existing line from Bolso to Spokane. The current Pacific States line is criticized as inadequate and may be required to vacate once the new system starts. Monte Gwinn, a major Oregon woolgrower, cites success of a rural independent line near Bolse with low costs and high satisfaction, fueling the push for a valley wide network. A town meeting will be held to review material costs and installation expenses. J W Mount, 68, dies by suicide in San Diego after securing his wife’s title to his property. no reason given.
