The Track "Walker. "Through this oold weather," said a railroader, "there are some thousands of men who patrol each night fourteen miles of track. The track walkers only work during very oold weather or severe storms. It is their business to walk along and look for broken rails. When the raeroury is in the' neighborhood of zero the jar of a train will sometimes break a rail, which might send the next train into the ditch.

Track walkers carry a lantern and signal applianoes. They are responsible for seven miles of track, and then turn around and examine them back again, making fourteen miles they must slowly walk every night. Some of them have been in the business for years. In the summer they work on sections. If one of these track walkers knew you were after his job he would make it confoundedly interesting for you."
