TRAFFIC BLOCKED BY SNOW
Operation in Storms Rendered More
Difficult by Automatic Switches
and Signals.

Railroads are every year mere sub
jeet to the interruption of traffic by
snoWstorms. The increasing use OF
labor-saving and automatic Inventions
is responsible for the Increasing irregu-
larity of railroad travel at every Storm
In the earlier railroad days there were
no automatic signals or automatic
switches. At every switch there was
sNitehman, or it was the duty OF the
rear brakeman to attend to the switches
In those days a storm much more severe
than any OF the recent ones would nave
produced comparatively small Interior
enee with traffic, says a Chicago ex-
change.
What formerly interrupted railroad
traffic was not the cold, but the volume
Of the snow. SnoWploWs are not an Old
invention, and the earlier ploWs had not
power to cope with large drifts or a oeep
snow. The only ways toremoye the oD-
struetion were by a gang Of locomotives
tanaem fashion bucking the drift, or by
several hundred laborers shovelllng the
track by hand. The first of these meth
DDS was dangerous and the second was
slow.
