19. Q. What work about a locomotive should be done by the engineman?

A. Inspection of the engine both before and after the trip. The engineer

should do any necessary work on the engine after starting out on the

trip to avoid breakdowns and insure getting over the road promptly. This

means tightening up any important bolts that work loose on the trip and

keeping parts from working out of position, adjusting wedges and rod

keys.
