The Steam Shovel.
The reporter went out beyoud the
S. F. & W. railroad shop yesterday
ntoroing to see the steam shovel in
operation. A train of flat cars were
being loaded with dirt for the filling
in of tl-.e depot yards, prior to laying
new side-tracks. Among the first
things the scribe noticed was the few
uuinher of, hands about, nit hough the
cars were being loaded in short order.
The shovel is a great labor saving ma
chine. Formerly it took twenty
hands tfu hour, to load a flat car in a
simular clay. The shovel loads a ear
in five minutes. Ten scoops full of
the big shovel is considered a load,
and it requires only three men to op
erate it. The machine has been at
work here a month, and it leaves a
big empty space behind to shew its
progress. It will take n couple of
months or more to finish up here,
When work is finished at one stopping
place, it movps along at tho rate of
six miles an hour to its next destina
tion. At present it is combining dou
ble duty by widcoiugnud lowering the
deep cut on the ‘Chattahoochee divi
sion, aud furnishing dirt for the new
improvements in thevard.
