CONFUSION AND DELAY
AT THE NEW STATION.
lnterlocking System of Signals and
Switches Recently Installed Did
Not Work Smoothly.

There was some confusion at IJnior
passenger station yesterday and the p.
sult was that there was considerable
delay experienced by passengers to and
from tho city. The confusion was all
due to the fact that the new interlock-
ing system OF signals and switches.
which was put in operation in this city
on sunday at noon, did not work as
smoothly as was anticipated.
IN uhe opinion OF some persons. the
| system while admitted to be a good
| one, is not fitted for the place. Since
the opening of the new station in Bos-
con u mas been In operation there. but
conditions are far different No trains
are made up in the station, bur all ara

only whole trains TO be handled and no

cars and picking them up engines

uhaccountable actions that are easily
cared FOR under the old system of throw
ing switches by hand, but which put a
deadlock on the new arrangement every
time such a thing occurs.
Inc fundamental idea is TO throw the
switches from tower and TO so COM

V serv'ceable but there is testimony
'ere against II where shifting cars and

But those switches were all locked :

and could not be thrown until all the
signals for open track and safety svere
changed 10 closed track and danger
signals. These held all through trains
and virtually closed the station until
the job was done: unless perhaps. when
the engine once got on the main track
which held its car the switches and
signals might be changed back until
the hitch was made and the engine
ready to go back. Probably this would

Five men were kept in the yard, whose
duty it was 10 tend them. A switch
that opened up track set a signal OF
its own on that track and had no COM
munication with other tracks or sig
nails. With the men i'm their places at
