Steel Versus Wooden Cars

That wooden cars may behave bet
ter In a wreck than the new steel
types. contrary to general opinion, is
asserted by the Hardwood Record (Chi-
cago, September 25). which backs up
Its opinions by publishing photographs
of the wrecked Chicago hier on the
Pennsylvania road. which left the track
near Fort Wayne. Ind, on August 13.
The evidence shows in the BELIEF Of the
writer. that the wooden type Of car.
when built on steel framework, is safer
than the ultra modern all-steel car.
usually regarded as h ne plus ultra Of
safety. In this wreck q wooden dining
car. between two new steel Pullmans'
and with the impact Of five heavy steel
cars behind 1t. ia declared to have come
In better condition than any of the
other wrecked coaches. Although it
was filled. not one of the occupants
was fatally hurt. We read:
All the damage sustained by the
wooden diner was one corner being
Knocked of and It was hauled from the
wreck on its own trucks. Compare the
condition OF this a with that Of the
steel combination buffet mi baggage
car. which looks as though a boiler had
exploded inside OF IT.: or the new full
steel Pullman car behind it that is in
utter collapse.
IA Pullman official who was recent
~ interviewed on m subject OF steel
vs. modern cars built on steel stills.
AYERS that he Is not fully convinced
that the entire steel car, which is alb
solutely OF steel. within and without.
save the upholstering. ia the acme Of
safety In sleeping a construction. AS
neal az can be found out, steel cars
came into being through the insistence
of the postoffice department for the
construction of mail cars that would
better protect its postal clerks; and
either In the form Of an order or Of a
bargain with the government. the
makeup OF mail carrying passenger
trains requires that q wooden coach be
placed Immediately IN the Of the
steel mail car. II this be true, Il n q
strange AFFAIR that the department
should attempt to protect the lives Of
it's three or four mail clerks at the
expense OF . coAchful Of passengers.
This Fort Wayne wreck u he ir.t
demonstration OF tho relative value Of
the two types Of railroad coach con-
struction. and from the evidence r.
would seem that the wooden car ON

RAILROAD CHANGES
EXCITES ROOSEVELT

Roosevelt, Aug. 29.-The sup
posed Improvements to the railroad
service here will in the opinion Of
many prove abortive. 1t now ap-
pears that the Central Railroad com
pany proposes to cut out the Canda
depot at the end of the month with
out giving the borough the conven-
fence of taking a train at Wood
bridge avenue, (Wheelers.) The
sentiment of the people of Chrome
is in favor of the Canda depot re
naming where it is while those PEG
pie residing between the Boulevard
and Washington avenue don't care
where the depot is, providing 1t is
either at Canda's or Wheeler's But
to expect these people to walk
either to Chrome or Carteret is alb
surd and causes resentment.
William Walling, agent Of the
United States Express Company, has
been appointed ticket agent at
Chrome. Heretofore there has not
been a ticket agent between Carte
ret and the terminal Of the railroad
at Chrome.
