"When steel gets tight with the sun shinin? right warm on it> the track buck and it looks just something like an old slavery-time fence rowy in and out. Welly this day the sun was shining the track was buckin\ and I was walkin} an* talking The fassenger trainys due nowy and I got to git out down there and line that track uf straight. It's just like a knittiny needle before the fassenger train gets there. I holler and call six of my best men by name. Chances are Pll call Hank Stevens, Sonny Watkiny Sam Justis, Jim Williamsy to get their linin} bars and go down there. I have to tell }em where to get itP
