A. Would place a piece of timber or rail across the tender, jack up the
corner of the truck that is disabled chain it to the timber and fasten
the timber at the other end to hold it so it would carry the disabled
truck. If it is possible to slide the wheel or truck, place a tie across
the rail and keep the wheel from turning, then slide it to a siding.
71. Q. What should be done if an engine truck wheel or axle should
break?
A. Would block between the engine frame and truck frame over the good
wheel on disabled side, swing the disabled corner of the truck to the
engine frame with a chain. Look out when crossing frogs that disabled
truck does not leave the track. With a broken flange, would block the
wheel to prevent its turning and skid it to a siding.
