There is strange difference of practice
among the RAILWAYS OF this country IN re-
gard to running tains on double tracks,
some taking the lot hand track and some
the right-hand. While the general law OF
the high way in thB and other countries is
to 'turn to the riiht," there seem to be
good reasons why the left-hand track is
preferable for railway trains. The chief
of these is that tn engineer being on the
right-hOnd side OF the engine is able to
com mand full vieV of both tracks at once
and in rounding mrves can see farther
along the rails tbauwhen he is on the right
hand track. He GsO has better view Of
track signals whn they are placed be-
tween the two traCks, as is sometimes the
case. OF course Ocal conditions vary,
and on some rOadslt is more convenient
TO run on the rilht side, but it would
seem that there ought to be a general rule
on the subject for the benefit OF trainmen
and also for the SAFETY of the public. Peo-
pie never ought to walk on thetracks. but
they frequently do, and if there were a
uniform rule as to which side of the
double track the up and down trains
should take there would be fewer acci-
dents,
