Signaling Appliances.


With the increase In speed and num-
bcr OF fast passenger and NAH trains
the railways find themselves compelled
TO spond considerable sums in improv-
Ing and extending their signaling ap-
pllances. The recent fast mail runs
across the continent were materially
assisted by tho Increased efficiency of
the signal department. and, In fact.
without such assistance, the trains
could not possibly have made the runs
with safety. The western roads are
rnying particular attention to the ex-
tcnaon OF this branch OF engineering,
tho Santa Fe road having placed some
hundreds of miles under the block sys-
TEN during 1898. Railway men say
That there are few directions In which
money can be expended more advan-
tageous!y than In protecting the lines
with the best possible signalling plants.
The cost to q road Of one accident from
defective signalling department
would often 20 long way toward the
expense OF fitting out the entire length
OF the road with the most modern sys-
TEN OF signals.
The chief development in the manu-
facture OF signalling appliances last
year was the substitution of iron for
wood. Open steel frames for cabins.
stcel poles and iron foundations for
EIpe lines are rapidly taking the place
of wood. Steel and iron are found to
be far more, durable, and cost very lit
tie more than wood In the first place.
and save the frequent renewals which
wood requires. The use OF steel for the
frame work OF signal cabins enables the
railways to place the cabins In the
middle Of large yards without obstruct-
ing the view OF the swltchmen and en-
gineers engaged in moving trains. The
solid wood foundations which have
been used In the past prevented en-
ployes from gaining clear view OF the
tracks on the other side OF the cabin.
and frequently led to accidents. Pipe
lines between the signal cabins and the
poles are now laid on iron foundations
set In concrete blocks, affording Il much
more lasting material than the wooden
frames, which rapidly rotted from OK
posure 10 the weather.
