Uncle Pete Dugan’s Ride With the Oxen on Harrowing Rails
Uncle Pete Dugan, veteran Erie Railroad engineer, vacationing with family near Friendship, WWY, rides home on a wood-hauling ox cart driven by his son Tom. Tom refuses to brake or reverse on a steep hill, prompting the old man to fear a crash into the woodshed. The scene ends with Pete praising Tom’s skill yet warning about the risk of riding without proper brakes.
