directly across the tracks in front of
the car. Luckily the motormen are
| used TO seeing frightened horses at this
point and always keep on the lookout
| for them and slow up at the first sig
nal of distress. The man at the con-
troller therefore had the car well in
hand and stopped it before reaching
