L.B. AND S.C.R. LOCOMOTIVES
29TH FEBRUARY 1896
The stages an engine cleaner goes through are first, he has to do about three years' cleaning before he is passed as a fireman, then he stands as spare fireman until he gets a regular job, then he generally stats on the goods, and from there to the passenger takes, and then on to the main line. After he has done about eight or nine years he takes his turn to be passed as a driver, and then he has to wait his turn for a regular job; when he gets it, he starts on the goods pilots, and follows his turn on to all classes of engines until he gets a main liner; by that time he has done 15 years, or even more than that, at driving. He has to pass a doctor and through the splendid eyesight testing before becomes a fireman, and again before he is passed as driver.
