are very proper regulatio0s:
On stopping the train at any station the conductor
must distinctly announce, to be announced in
each to be heard throughout the car
such station. Suciens time in oil be allowed
for passengers to leave enter the train in safety pru
dent dispatch being taken to avoid delay They must
scrupulousy observe oil signals Of caution and dan
ger, and keep particular look out switches first as
certaning that each switch is in its proper place before
crossing the same They must never enter upon any
drawbrdge without knowing that every thing connected
with the bridge in perfectly safe condition. In run
ming during after storm every precaution must be
taken to guard against the possibility of danger On up
proachng railroad crossing the train must advance at
moderate speed and the engine driver must the way
clear In case of the slightest doubt to the safety
the engine driver must invariably stop his
train until all danger is removed
