The editor of Locomotive Engineer
ing declares that in describing a rail-
road collision reporters make a mis-
take when they say that ION seeing the
danger the engineer whistled down
brakes" reversed the lever, and
jumped off. The expression down
brakes" he says, has been obsolete for
two generations. What an efficient en-
gineer really does when collision
seems impending is to shut off steam,
apply the air-brake, open the sand
valves, and jump. This takes about
five seconds. and in that time all that
human effort is able to accomplish for
the train and passengers may be DONE
Railroad engineers are told never to
reverse the engine after the air-brake
has been applied, because the reversal
reduces the resisting power of the
brakes.
