AN EXPERIMENT has been made with wireless
telegraphy on moving trains running between
Buffalo and Chicago on the Lake Shore road.
There were stations at Cleveland, Toledo, Elk
hart and Chicago and the passenger agent at
Cleveland is quoted as saying that the system
worked beautifully" 1t is thought that by
this means collisions can be avoided and sta
tions kept informed of the exact location of all
trains at all times. The apparatus installed. it
is said, would not interfere with the working
of telephone or telegraph systems.
