GEO. WESTINGHOUSE HAS
A COLLISION WITHOUT DAMAGE

Pittsburg. May l7-For the edification
OF the 800 delegates 10 the international
railway congress and Of as many addi-
tional invited guests George Westing-
house pulled OFF, a railroad collision on
the Interworks railroad here. which he
owns. and showed how easily il was TO do
IL all without damage.
A train composed OF ~ new steel cars
was made up, and TO ii was attached an
ordinary locomotive. The train was then
cut into three pieces. two OF which were
allowed 10 stand idle on the track
The third portion. TO which the engine
was attached. then moved down the track
a distance OF about two miles. The en-
gineer pulled the throttle open and the
third portion Of the train rushed down
the track at a speed OF 40 miles an hour.
IL crashed -iHte-t = second section of the
train and the latter into the third. In
stead OF piling the cars up on the tracks
I'm a twisted mass there was just n culver.
and then the three sections which had
been automatically reunited settled down
on the tracks as II nothing had happened.
All OF the cars were equipped with
what is known as the friction draft gear.
which absorbs tho strain.
The same performance was repeated
the second time with a single phase cleo
tric locomotive. This Is the first time
that an electric locomotive has ever
drawn that number OF cars.
