To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A tube willfrequently leak to a considerable extent without absolutely requiring thestoppage of the train; but in this case great care is necessary not touse much steam, or urge the fire too far.
The bursting of a tube or other causes will sometimes lead to the laggingor casing of the boiler catching fire, which should be extinguished bythrowing on water from the Tender-cistern in a fire-bucket, or from thewater crane at a Station.
2. _The failing of one of the feed pumps_. --In this case the a...dequatesupply of water may, with care, be maintained by one pump only. Thesupply of coke must be regular, and not in large quantities; and thesteam must be economised, or the water may run low. The pump should berepaired as soon as possible; this may frequently be done in the intervalbetween two trips.
3. _The breaking of a spring_. --This is an accident which does notnecessarily involve the stoppage of the train; but as working the Enginein such a state causes an unequal strain, it should run very gently overrough parts of the road; and if the derangement is considerable, andcannot be repaired at the Stations, the Engine should cease running assoon as possible.
