LARGE EXPENDITURE MADE
COST OF RAILWAY IMPROVE
.MENTS IN THE DISTRICT.
Total Placed at $2s, 600, oOO-De
scription of Signal System in
Moving Trains.

The railroad improvements and changes
in the District contingent on the estab-
lishment of the new Union station were
described by Mr.. Robert Farnham. jr.,
assistant engineer of construction of the
Pennsylvania railroad, at a smoker of
the Washington Society of Engineers
held at Fritz Reuters last night.
About S2s,0CO,OOO has already been
spent in the railroad improvements in
the District it was stated by the speak
er, and an expenditure of about $1,000, 900
more is contemplated. OF the amount al
ready expended about S12,36O.COO was put
into the terminal property proper, in
Guiding the Union station and approaches.
For the tunnel under Capitol Hill a to-
tai of 81. G:l3.GGO was spent. For building
the joint passenger yards and approaches
to the terminal another S6.UOO,O00 was
used The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company expended 81. 400, 900 for freight
yard and other improvements in the vi
cnity of the intersection of New York
and Florida avenues. The cost of the
improvements in Southwest Washington.
including the elimination of grade cross
ings, was $5.5Oo,GUO
Mr.. Farnham referred to the legislation
under which the work was done. and in
dictated with the aid of large map. the
changes in the railroad lines that have
been made. At present, he said, there
are no grade crossings in the city proper.
and only few in the county portion of
the District.
Method of Signaling.
One of the interesting points brought
out in the questions after the lecture was
the method Of signaling for the starting
of a train When the conductor has all
his passengers aboard and the time has
come for the train to start he inserts a
key in a signal switch. That notifies the
man at the gate leading to that specific
train and the first signal tower on the
line that the train is ready to be off. Then
the signal tower sends fash shown by
light. that the track is clear for the
train The gateman thereupOn sends a
signal that all the passengers for the
train have passed through the gate. This
gives the gateman the last say in start
ing a train. The system is a unique one
1t was stated, but is expected to work
well.
A new system Of lights now used on thc
local operating system was also explain
ed. Under it the white light is not used
at all. A yellow light signals clear,
green light caution and red danger. This
change was made because it was found
that under the old system when light
globe is broken. whether red. green or
white, the light shows white and thus
clear Under the new system, a whit,
light is as much signal of danger
d red one. and thus the dangers from
broken globes are reduced to minimum
1t is announced that at the next meet
ing of the society. to be held March II,
at the Hubbard Memorial Hail. Calvin w.
Hendrick. chief engineer of the sewer
age commission of Baltimore. will speak
on the sewerage work in that city.
