RAILROAD NEWS.
Santa Fe Replaces Telegraph
by Telephone.
First Railroad TO Do This in the
United States.
SOON HAVE 5000 MILES
Various Circuits to Extend All
Over Big System.
other Items of General Interest
in Railroad World.

Contracts have been let for equip
ping the Santa Fe system with tele-
phone service. to replace the telegraph
for the dispatching of trains between
Albuquerque and Moiave. With the
completion of this service and the clos
ing of a few gaps between Albuquerque
and Newton. Kan. the Santa Fe will
have superseded the telegraph with the
telephone on the entira system between
Chicago and the Pacific coast, save be-
tween MoJaVe and Bakersfield where
the tracks of the Southern Pacific arc
used. This gives to the Santa Fe the
distinction OF being the first great rail-
road to replace the telegraph with the
telephone for the operation of trains
although a dozen or more railroads are
Using the telephones on parts of their
respective systems for this purpose.
The contract between Albuquerque
and Mcjave involves SS8 miles. From
Newton, KAN. to Chicago, 659 miles,
the telephone system is used. The dis
lance between San Francisco and Bak-
ersteld where the telephone is in use
is 400 miles.
The action of the Santa Fe points to
the passing of the telegraph as a means
of dispatching trains. which is consid-
cred remarkable. as it is only about
80 years ago that the telephone came
into general use.
1t is the theory of railroading that
the train dispatcher is the chessmas-
ter of railway movement and he must
win every game. Where a mistake
means death or the great destruction
OF property, or both. then the absolute
elimination of mistakes is the one great
effort.
Realizing these conditions the Santa
Fe established it's original telephone
train ispatching circuit in June. 1908,
in the dry climate of Colorado. 1t was
a success. AS soon as this was real
lied, immediate steps were taken to
extend the system to widely separated
sections of the line so as to test 1t IN all
conditions of climate. During the early
part of 1909 1852 miles of telephone
trains dispatchinG circuits were in OPP

tions. Another circuit reaches from
Fresno TO Bakersfield. Within year
tie various circuits will approximate
5000 miles, costing in the neighborhood
of $10G mile.
