2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Setwriey, September 3, 1960 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN DIESFL BIDE THRILLING AT #0 MPH There sre hundreds of Oshawa residents, including many adults, who have yet to take their first train trip. We feel sorry for them As an old train lover from away back (one who has been riding around for years on sll kinds of passengers, from The Sunset to The hi " ; International Limited) we recently had sn experience 10 top them all = a ride in the eab of a Diesel pas~ genger engine at B0-miles- per hour, " We rode from Oshawa ~40 Cobourg. It was like "Hiding at a merry clip on sn elevated cireus bicycle, the kind used by the more "daring clowns, 1t started at the CNR station when Engineer Wilfred "Punk" Muir looked down from his high dome on Train No. 14 east~ bound Toronto~ to ~ Monte real and hollered: "Come on up here, Sonny, and see how a gen~ tleman rides." We were tense, There were 13 cars behind, We tried to keep up a running conversation with Muir, who directed a deputy at the controls, "There's one thing about this job, "Muir started off, "It gives you a clear view of everything ahead" Lake Ontario came in~ to view-~then the plcture~ esque, green countryside enroute to Bowmanville started to unroll, the way it would in Cinerama, IT WAS EXCITING IN THE CAB It was thrilling, not as much as a Jet trip, but thrill ing ' No, 14 picked up speed and we wanted to ask Muir questions. ("Have you ever been in any wrecks, any real bad wrecks 7") but the words just wouldn't come, We were clipping off a brisk 46-miles-per-hour and gaining "One of the great worries is level crossings where fool-hardy motorists actuaslly try to race us across" quipped Muir as the whistle warned we were coming to one of those hazards, "Can you imagine that? Some of those motorists think this is some kind of game we're playing. They seem to be working for the undertakers, I missed one fellow last week by the width of a razor blade, Know what he did? He waved 'good bye' as he raced away Those fellows take years from our lives Muir talks about this Diesel with deep and affece tionate pride, with a confidence born of long and close association, so much so that it would warm the heart of somebody like Mr, E, J, "Jeff" Umphrey, vice-president and gereral sales manager of General Motors of Canada, Here's the way he talks: "This thing Is just about as easy to operate as a Chevy, Look around the cab, Have you ever seon anys thing more simple * Watch that operator, He puts it in low, second and high, My grandson could operate this GM Diese! except for one thing -- it takes years of ex- perience to know how and when to operate those brakes (you ¢an't upset them back there in the cars), to learn the many rules of railroading every engineer must know intimately." No, 14 HITS 75-MILE MARK No. 14 passed the 78-milesper-hour mark, so we stopped glancing at the speedometer (we secretly won dered what would happen if she piled up.) Muir pointed out a 75-mile sign by the road, "That means our maximum should be 75 until we get to the next sign, See the green light ahead ? That means its safe to enter the next block section, If it were yellow we'd proceed with caution (perhaps a train would be shunting ahead), If it were red, we'd stop." Then we came up with a bright query "What would you do in a fog or a blinding snow= storm you couldn't see those signs or lights ?" we asked "Not necessarily," said Muir "but even if we did have diffirulty seeing them, we know from long experience ~ 45 years to be exact -- where every sign and light on this roadbed is located, If we didn't know, it would be too bad, There's no room here for chance," The fireman was at the controls with his right foot down tight on the Dead Man's Control, the automatic air brakes that operates instantly throughout the train as he eases foot pressure, If the fireman died of a heart seizure, the train would come to a stop quickly, No, 14 was down to 20 miles again and the reason « was visible ahead a high bridge over a river at Port Hope DOCTOR KILLS ONLY ONE "See what would happen if he failed to apply those air brakes back there," said Muir, "Every' car would end up in that river, together with the engine, That's . what | mean when I say this job isn't simple, If a doctor makes a fatal error, he likely kills one patient, If we make a fatal error, we could kill hundreds, Little wonder our regulations are so strict," "What would happen if the operator decided to put this train above the maximum 85-mile-per-hour limit . we asked, "The train would automatically stop." Did Muir have any "sentimental affection" for the old steam engines, the predecessors of the Diesels, which he drove for 37 years ? "Absolutely not," he said, "A man had to be strong in the back and weak in the mind to work on those things the way 1 did for so long. I'd start shovelling coal when we pulled out of Belleville and I'd shovel all the way to Toronto, I was paid $1.50 for 100 miles." If Mr, "Jeff" Umphrey is still reading, if he has any ideas about hiring Muir later as a Chevrolet or Diesel salesman. he can forget about it, When No, 14 rolls into Oshawa after next Sept. 10, Wilfred "Punk" Muir of Belleville, will not be aboard ~ he's going to retire that day after 43 consecutive years of railroading during which time he "never missed a pay cheque." How will he spend his retirement time ? Will he hang around the station and talk with the boys? "Absolutely not," says Muir. "I don't want to see one of these things again ever. I'm through with rail. roading, I'm going to spend most of my time in the summer in my garden in Belleville, I've been waiting for that for years."

Pioneers in the development of the diesel-electric [locomotive, the CNR in June became the first major [railway in Canada to complete its dieselization pro= gram Diesel-electric power faster than steam, coupling less power with long-term repair costs and greater utiliza- tion. Public acceptance of the diesel is based on its speed and smooth starting and stopping Te CNR has 2,144 Diesel locomotives and 28 railiners operating across the system representing an in= vestinent of $397,000,000 Benefits of the diesel were evident even in the pioneered stages in 1925 when the CNR was the first railway to design a self-powered passenger car and send it 2,930 miles from Montreal to Vancouver in a7 hours, C. FE. Brooks, former chief of motive power for the CNR, saw the possibilities of diesel power and formed an engineering team to produce a locomotive that could pull trains on fast schedules, Three years of work resulted in the first diesel road locomotive in North America, It was a two-unit locomotive, numbered 9000 and 9001, which made its first run in August 1929, between Montreal and Toronto, At the time the program was inaugurated, the CNR maintained 2,463 steam locomotives on its system, These were retired gradually as diesels were introduced and now the company has only 107 in serviceable cons dition, proven cheaper and maintenance and man= has | here," {one time refused to talk to news paper men, Jerome said "Everybody gets on your Max Bluestein : [85, and § When reminded that he had at fa, mq bY nerves at some time and espe- hidden for [elally when you're trying to train, I, akeview bookmaking Bluestein has also been charged with obstructing police The recorder, police said, was 2 minutes Athletie 48, Joe Zeldin, | Binder, 40, each! charges In the Club, Zeldin IT was just trying to concentrate) and Binder are executives of the on the races," Asked why he brushed - past |ping out of the semi-final heat, [he said his injury was "worth going to one at the time."
