March 13, 1891

On Monday last at 10:30 a.m. Engine No. 148, DUNN at the lever, arrived at Liberal pushing the snow-plow. It was following by a drag-train (a train to hitch on the snow-plow behind and pull her out when she get stuck in a snow bank.), composed of Engines Nos. 155, Ed. O. FOSS at the throttle, and No. 224, McGEE in the Cab; one flat car of coal and a caboose, all in charge of conductor CLARK, with 15 or 20 shovellers aboard. The track was now cleared and Monday's trains arrived and departed on time. "You don't miss the water till the well goes "dry" and "you don't miss your trains till they don't get here on time."
