O. R. & N. passenger Mo. 134, which
pulls the Spokane passenger train in and
out of this city daily, boasts of one of the
most exciting and remarkable histories of
any locomotive on the entire system, and
perhaps on the coast, says the East
Oregonian.
Back in the '80s, when the Union Pa
cific had the O. R. N. leased, engine
1S4 was numbered 1,498 and was stat-
ioned at Kamela as a helper, where she
was driven by Pet St Cyr, or "Hair
Oil Pete," as he was more familiary
known.
On this engine Pete made his wild dash
down the Blue Mountains in the spring of
1 889, to prevent a collision between
freight and passenger train which had
been given a lap order.
Engine 1,498 was standing in the yard
at Kamela with steam up . when it was
discovered that the lap order had been
given and the two trains were approach
ing each other on the mountain side. The
ireignt train nad tjust lett Kamela, going
eastward, and the passenger train was
toiling up the mountain from the east
and a horrible collision teemed inevitable.
Grasping the situation in an instant
Hair Oil Pete" leaped into the cab of
1,498 and dashed out of the yards to
catch the freight train before the crash
came. Out of Kamela is a three per
cent grade, with sharp curves, deep rock
cut and high mountains, and the daring
feat of catching this train was extremely
perilous, since the curves wer sharp and
the train could not be seen any great
distance ahead. 1 -
With whistle screaming and the engine
rocking and reeling around the curves.
St. Cyr made five miles in less than four
minutes and succeeded in stopping the
freight train about a mile away from the
approaching passenger, neither train
being aware of the mistake until after the
freight had been stopped.
