The Erie Railroad has arranged for the
immediate expenditure of $225,000 for the
installation of the most modern and ell
ticient railway signal that has yet been
put on the market. 1t is known as the
Hall Electric Semaphore Normal Clear
System, and is operated by stationary stor-
age batteries. The line between Bergen,
n. D., and Middletown, distance of 6S
miles, is to be equipped at once. For
the first 81 miles, the signals will be put
two-thirds of a mile apart; for the rest
of the distance, about one and one-third
miles apart. 1t will require FIVE power
plants for charging the batteries, which
will be located at Rutherford Junction,
Ridgewood Junction, Suffern, Oxford and
Middletown. The line to be protected has
two and four tracks at different places,
and is the most congested part of the Erie
System. Hitherto a manual block, which
is tower with signals operated by
towerman, has been used as block pro
lection, but it has been deemed best to
install an automatic system for further
protection, and to accelerate the move
ment of trains. The new system will be
extended over the entire line in the future.
