Text Appearing Before Image: ide the material to be moved, and several men beingset to work at each, the soil is flung into them with ease andcelerity. Meanwhile, as the stuff is removed the gullet isopened farther and farther into the hill, while earth is showeredinto the wagons from all sides. When these are filled, they aresecured together in a train, and, if the inclination of the ground CUTTINGS. I07 permits it, they run down by their own velocity, being regulatedby a breakman, who stands on the last wagon, and who applieshis feet to a lever when he wishes the trucks to be stopped.His duty, however, is anything but pleasant, for, what with theroughness of the roads, and the action of the springless vehicleon which he rides, the shaking he receives in his journey seemssufficient to reduce every joint in his body to a most unsatis-factory condition of laxity. On reaching his journeys end heconsigns the laden trucks to the embankment men, and assistsin driving the horses which are to draw the empty trucks back.
