WATCH THE WHEELS CLOSELY
Canadian Experts Declare Defective
Flanoes to Be Frequent Cause OF
Railroad Accidents.

The railroad commission has issued
a circular to motive power foremen
on the Canadian railroads urging the
Importance of a renewal of locomotive
wheels before the flanges are badly
orr inspectors in the service OF
the commission report that many loco
motives on passenger trains nave
sharp tlanges, in some cases the
tlanges being worn down below the
master car builders standard allow
ance gauge. Some Of these locomo-
tives are running on fast passenger
trains, thus inviting much unneces-
sary risk to the safety of hundreds OF
passengers.
The wearing down Of fanges or To-
comotives is only one minor contribu-
tor to the long chapter OF railway
accidents. Derailments arise either
from defective equipment. bad track,
or faulty switching. AS a rule, when
a locomotive jumps the track, the &C
cldent is ascribed to some peculiar de-
feet in the track, rather than to in
sufficient Hanging on the locomotive.

rail defects are in reality the outcome
of defective driving wheel tires. The
Railway Age Gazette tells of 100 rails
on All Illinois railroad being broken
on one trip by a hattened driving
wheel. The recently issued annual
report. of the interstate
commission shows that out or
S,215 derailments on American rail-
roads during the year. 3,S41 were due
to defective equipment. an increase
of 1893. BAD ties, loose spikes, poor
ballasting. insuficiently Hanged
wheels. rail ~breakages due to flattened
wheels, all played a prominent part IN
causing these derailmentS. Fortunate
ly derailments Of locomotives caused
by defects in their w mechanism or
driving surfaces are com paratlyely
rare. The warning OF the railway com
mission is not uncalled for, however,
for a worn locomotive ttange might
suddenly p~recipitate a great disaster.
