running of trains the NewYork and Erie Railroad.
For some years the telegraph completely distinct
from the railroad and only used certain important &C.

Effected experiment has been tried and the results are
almost magical. The New York AID Erie Railroad Com

In former times if of the fast trains broke down
any place, all other trains which, to switch off TO
permit to pass, could go further without ncurrng

keeps every train ID motion, preserving Its own time TIL
the difficulty is removed 1hS Ia saving IN time labor

that there nearly eighty Geographic stations along the
line and during day and night the greater part of these
are Open Every half hour each operator must report his
presence TO the officer who superntends that DIVISION
