89. Q. How can an engine be brought in with a broken front end or stack?

A. By boarding up the front end to make it as near air tight as possible

and using a barrel or a petticoat pipe in place of the stack, wiring it

fast to the smoke-arch. Where a portion of the stack is inside the

smoke-box the engine might steam without the barrel or petticoat pipe.

90. Q. What should be done if the frame is broken between the main

driver and cylinder?

A. Either give up the train and come in light, or disconnect the engine

on that side and come in with reduced tonnage, depending on how badly

the engine pounds when working steam.
