New Wav 10 Sion Trains.

IN Austria and Germany an automo-
bile system of stopping fast railway
trains without the cooperation of the
engine driver or the brakeman has re-
Gently been tried with satisfactory re-
suits. The apparatus consists OF two
parts, one carried by the locomotive,
close to the rails, and acting directly
upon the brakes Of the train. and the
other attached to the track and con
nected with all signal points at curves,
gates, etc. If 1t becomes necessary
suddenly to stop an approaching train,
the turning Of a lever throws up a con.
nection from the track to the appara-
tus under the locomotive which gov
erns the brakes. At the same time an
automatic signal whistle warns the
engineer Of what has been done. The
brakes can be released in a similar
manner. Between Vienna and Krems
the device has worked successfully
with trains running 81 miles an hour.
