They scrap 18 a month at this yard alone. CONWAY, Pa.

got another diesel on the Salt Lake line, and like Casey Jones, the Iron Horse is heading for the graveyard. Big eight-wheelers (like the one Casey rode to fame and death) and others on the more recent roster of steam locomotives (Pacifies, Mikados, Consolidations, Mountains and Mallets) are puffing into yards all over the country to find a scrap heap at the end of the line. On nearly every railroad, as the diesel locomotives talte over, the coal-burners are doomed. Few new ones are being built. But the Iron Horse still is useful; its bones make top-grade scrap for steel mill furnaces.

In Conway, a railroad town on the banks of the Ohio 20 miles from Pittsburgh, the Fcnnsylvan- ia Railroad has its own graveyard. In it, 18 locomotives are chopped up every month. The Pennsy retired a total of steam engines last many be- inw sold outright to scrap yards, as against only 244 in 1947 and hardly any in 1940. At Modena, on the banks of Brandywine Creek, a 100-acre graveyard is operated by Luria Brothers, one of the biggest commercial scrap dealers. Two hundred and fifty steam engines were scrapped there in 1948.

To build nn Iron Horse from blueprint up" takes more than INSIDE the hollow smoke box of a doomed coal-burner, a workman cuts up the boiler plate with a high-speed acetylene torch. Bameston News Fad Finders 'Beatrice Dally Sun, Beatrice, April 12,1949 3 Against Engineers WASHINGTON, April 12 A presidential emergency board Monday recommended against granting union demands for an additional engineer on multiple- unit diesel locomotives. The brotherhood of locomotive engineers has made a demand on most western railroads for the additional engineer. It threatened fl strike if the demand was not granted. A strike was called for Jan.

31, but President Truman stepped in with appointment of the board to investigate the dispute. Under tho Railway Labor Act. the union was required to hold off a walkout pending the hoard's study. The board finding is not binding on the union or railroads. The union has 30 days in which to accept or reject the recommendation.

Nebraskcm's May See Moon Eclipse OMAHA. April 12 the weather cooperates, Nebraskans will be able to see a total eclipse of the moon tonight. The Rev. Raymond J. Strange, S.

of Creighton university said tho eclipse was slated to start at 7:31 p. m. when the edge of the moon enters the partial shadow. At 8:27 p. m.

the moon enters the total shadow of the earth and one hour and one minute later the is completely in the The middle of the total eclipse occurs at 10:10 p. Father Strange said. He termed the clips? and "eclipse for the masses," since it occurs at practically ideal hours for observation. However, the nipht may not be clear for observation of the eclipse.

Superstructures are cut away with acetylene torches. Then the boilers are stripped of sheet iron and asbestos and fed into 105-ton alligator shears, and the under- frame is cut loose. Chopped into fragments, what's left of the Iron Horse is loaded by magnet to be hauled away to steel mills. The locomotive graveyards go the slaughterhouse one better.

with other trimmings, like the bells, gauges, valves, rods brake- parts, and other still-useful items, they're saved for use as spare parts for steam engines that still survive. Even some of the bones that go to the mills as scrap eventually find their way back to the high iron as tangible ghosts of Casey Jones. They're turned into steel plates, rods and castings used in other diesel engines that are sending the Iron Horse to the graveyard. Governor Opposed To Rent Business LINCOLN, April 12 Gov. Val Peterson declared Monday he "definitely opposed to the State of Nebraska going into the rent control business because it means creation of another bureau and added expense." He said he had been studying tha rent control situation.

"If controls are to be continued," he said, "I prefer they be continued under existing federal laws." The governor indicated he had been meeting with "interested" parties to discuss whether any state action should be taken or whether possible decontrol should be left in the hands of the municipalities.
