some weight in apporilnning Tie blame
Tor these disasters. But that systematic
care in railway management may rcdu ce
the chances of serious accident To very
small proportions, is evident in the fact
that some railroads arc SO handled that
accidents of any kind on their lines are
never heard CT. The history of the Hi
nois Central road may be taken as a
good illustration of what system and
care may accomplish in this respect
