SURPRISE TEST
FOR ENGINEERS
Modern Railroad Manage
ment Is Wedding Out
lnCOmpetency

NEW YORK, July 29.-Results Of
surprise tests for observance Of signals
on the Hartman railroads are of I'M
usual interest, owing to the fact that
they have the longest record of such
tests and are making the greatest ex-
tensions of the block signal system.
With the 2,754 miles of automatic
block signals authorized for installa-
ton this year, the Union Pacific and
southern Pacific will be the longest
stretch of automatically blocked track
anywhere, 1884 miles.
out OF 1876 tests covered by the last
monthly report available, in only 1s
cases did engineers fail to observe sig-
nols. Eighteen different tests were an
Piled, besides special tests, and in NO
case was the per cent of observed sig
hals less than 95, and the average
Tor all is 9S.7 per cent. All red flags.
crossing. station and block danger sig
nails were observed. A perfect record
10 shown in 10 out Of the Is classes of
tests.
This is the fourth year Of surprise
tests on the Southern Pacific and thu
third year on the Union Pacific lines.
Tests are made in person by each d.
vision superintendent and his subordi-
mates, and general superintendent and
each general manager are required to
make number of surprise tests every
month. The results are closely watch
ed those made by subordinates being
reported and inspected by the division
superintendent and then passed on to
the general superintendent, the gem
eral manager and finally to the director
of maintenance and operation Of the
Hartman systems. g
The tests are made under such con-
ditions that the enginemen and train
men cannot know what is being done.
Two ore more of each of 18 different
kinds Of surprises must be made ON
each division each month. These
tests cover the use of torpedoes, fusees,
| slow and red flags, switch lights out
and at danger and all semaphofe sig
| nails.
1t is not uncommon, now, officials
say, to receive reports from a number
of divisions for an entire month, show
ing perfect record under hundreds
of tests carried out o make sure that
! signals are being observed by engi-
neers.
