The story concerns one John NJ.
Flynn. now u train dispatcher on the
Northern Pacific. 1t goes back to 1869
when Sir William Van Horn-then
plain William-was chief train dis
patcher at Bloomington. Ill. Flynn was
his kid operator.
Just out of Bloomington was an over
head bridge that would not clear a
| man of ordinary height on top Of a
car. This bridge had killed no less
than fifteen brakemen by knocking
them off trains while passing under it.
Sir William, being something of an
artist, took a large sheet of paper and
drew a locomotive with a long string
of cars passing under this bridge. on
one car was a brakeman at the wheel,
setting up the brake.
On top of the running board of the
second car was the head Of the brake
man. which had been knocked off, and
red ink scattered all along to illustrate
how the poor brakeman's blood had
been spilled because of his careless
ness in falling to duck his hea for low
