speed has it's influences upon train
men in the matter of making these
SidingS. If five minutes clearance is
enough for a passenger train making
only 25 miles an hour, the influence of
a train running so miles an hour is to
make the conductor of the freight
train consider ten-minute clearance
of his own rather than the five-minute
clearance of the regulations. So that
frequently when the conductor of the
freight train may make the next sid
ing with the necessary clearance, he
waits where he is because he cannot
make it the ten-minutes' clearance
that he would like to have.
The complications of these situa-
tions are with reference to only two
sldlngs that are ten miles apart. In
many sections of the country sidings
are two or three miles apart and in
the run of one hour a train making
actual speed of a mile a minute may
pass ten of these sidings and perhaps
six or seven trains. all of which are in
fluenced in more or less degree by the
same conditions affecting the first ex-
ample.
Is it a wonder that when it comes to
the question of diminishing passenger
traffic in favor of freight railroad
turns to it's fastest flyers?
The removal of just one passenger
train IL "a hours. this train starting
from the termini of road in each di-
rectlon, makes the possibility of NOV
ing freight trains out of all seeming
proportion to the clearance. As indi-
eating this, the Railway and Engineer
Review printed symposium of expert
opinions on the economical proportion
of passenger trains to be run with the
freight trains of a given line.
According to these experts certain
New York line, which has as MANY
miles of sidetracks as it has of single
main line, moves 40 trains every "a
hours over it's whole line, 90 to the east
and p to the west. In these freight
movements there is an average of 947
cars a day, and between the trains
hauling the freight cars only seven
passenger trains are moved, four to
the east and three to the west To take
off only one of these passenger trains
would mean the possibility of perhaps
five more trains hauling freight.
To travel over railroad at so miles
an hour is. a distinct privilege The
train that carries the passenger at
that rate is not likely to be more than
Il good advertisement of the road run
ming it. For it is through the freight
offices of the roads that the dividends

FAST TRAINS CAUSE LOSS.
One Limited Express Interferes with
the Movements of Five Trains
of Freight Cars.

In taking off it's 2O-hour train from
Chicago to New York the other day
in favor of the increased freighting
of coal and other commodities the
management of the Pennsylvania
company suggested to the travelling
public at what cost to general traf-
nc the traveller was enabled to make
the distance in that time. For with
9 train averaging so miles an hour
over the mixed single and double
tracks CT the line it has been esti-
mated that the movements of this
train kept out of service fully so
miles of tracks for the full 20 hours
of the run.
This means that for perhaps eight
miles behind the train and 10 miles
ahead of it in every minute of its run
all other trains operating on this line
are slowing down, stopping, side
tracking, or moving out again upon
the line to gain momentum and pur-
sue their several courses, says the
Chicago Tribune.
Fifty miles an hour including
stops, is notable speed to be main
tanned for a thousand miles. To get
such train through on time would
be a company pride. In any case the
passenger train with the mails has
the right of the track and all freight
trains are secondary to it N the mat
ter of taking the sidings.
According TO the operating rules of
the road every train. of a second class
~ nf froi of
the first-class must have taken sid
ing and cleared the switch entrance
five minutes before the train ap-
preaching is due. To the uninitiated
this would seem to figure five min
ute loss to the train of the second
class. In reality, even if the train
has run so close that the switch is
just at hand, probably grade or "a
heavy load or slippery rails, or one
of a dozen possibilities, may lose the
freight train Is or 20 minutes before
it has got under. Roadway again.
But Just five minutes before flyer
is due in each case the freight train
cannot be at siding. 1t may be at
siding with just 25 minutes run to
the next station. and with only %
minutes in which to get there and
clear the track. Manifestly this cam
not be done, and the freight takes
the siding where it is and waits the
probable ten minutes which the flyer
will need to consume the distance.
: Such freight train may be making
25 miles an hour: because it cannot
get to the next station two minutes
earlier than is possible, it loses the
ten minutes it has to wait, it loses
the % minutes which it ought to
have run and could have run, and
when ii gets to the next station it is
still 90 minutes belinda total of Sc
minutes lost off its schedule, leaving
it nearly % miles behind its antici-
pated position on the line.
Such a loss as this might be induced
by any passenger train having the
right of way over a freight train. In
the case of such a train as has just been
taken out of service. however. its great
