DANGER SIGNALS
FLASHED IN CAB

The test OF a new danger signal de-
vice made before the Interstate COM
meTce Commission block signal ana
train control board late yesterday on d
stretch of the Southern railroad below
/ Cameron, Va, proved successttl I'D
every detail. The inventor Of the sys-
TEN, Joseph W. Buell. headed the party
that LETT the Sixth street station on
special train provided by the southern
railway. for the line Of track that has
been equipped with the device.
An engine was sent ahead Of the
special train TO act as tie danger point
curve at Cameron, a mile automatic
track circuit block was run into, and
while maintaining a high rate or speed,
something like forty miles an hour, the
danger signal was received aboard the
train by a red bull S-eye lantern uasn-
ing up. and by a shrill whistle, which
are simultaneously produced. The air
brakes were automatically applied, ana
the train came 10 a stanostil within
so feet from where the signals were
f1rst received
A mile further south a roadway sig
nal was approached, the train running
thirty miles, and was found % dis
piav a danger signal beside the track.
Ignoring the signal, the engineer kept
up the same rate of speed, but again
automatically the danger signals were
flashed and the train came 70 stop.
The private car for the party was
those on the cab Of the engine. so that
a perfect demonstration was made 10 all
present.
The new system depends for its action
upon the track circuit. and requires only
a small voltage 10 insure its perfect
working. The front wheels Of the en-
CINE act as feeleTs for every foot OF
track. and through wires connectlng
with the cab fash out the danger sig
mails whenever anything appears on the
track ahead
The members Of the party aboard eX-
pressed themselves thoroughly
pleased with the test, but did not make
any statement as to what they eX-
pected 20 do in The matter.
