To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Then run slowly and carefully without the train, reducing the speed still more when passing over frogs or crossing plates. The blocking should be no longer than the box, so that it will clear every thing. When the driving-shaft breaks outside the box, block up under the box sufficiently to bring the box at an equal height with the other side. Should a break occur which will render it neces- sary to disconnect the main rod, the piston must be secured by moving the cross-head to the extreme back ...end of the guides. Disconnect the valve stem from the rocker-arm and pull the valve clear back so as to cover the back steam-port, and screw up hard the glands to the stuffing-box and piston to prevent them from moving. This will answer until the Engineer is out of the way of approaching trains, and afterward a piece of board ACCIDENTS AKD TEMPORARY REPAIRS. 79 may be tied in between the guides. The advantages of this method of disconnecting the rod are obvi- ous. Placing the cross-head at the back end of the guides brings the piston-head to the back end of the cylinder, and pulling the valve back opens the forward steam-port, so that when the throttle is opened, the steam fills the forward end of the cylinder, and the piston is held solid and cannot move while the throttle is open.
