RAILROAD RULES, 1852
INTERESTING REMINDER OF
EARLY DAYS OF TRAVEL.
Instructions for Engineers and Con
ductors Appear LaushabIe in These
DAYS When the Science Of Rail-
roading Has Been Perfected.

A most interesting exhibit Of the
early days OF railroading in this coun
try has been found.
It is a schedule for passenger trains
and rules for the conduct OF engine
men and conductors on the Wetsern &
Atlantic. which was at the time and
still is owned by the state of Georgia,
The time table is dated March /, 1852,
and was issued by William Wadley, gu.
perintendent, father of George ID. Wad-
ley. the latter for many years man
ager Of the Central Railroad of Geor
gia.
In the rules for enginemen and con.
ductors are many which seem quaint
In this age OF colossal railroading. or
course the road had only one track,
and rule IA for passenger conductors
shows that there must have been some
dispute when trains met as TO which
train had the right to keep on its way
uninterrupted. This rule says:
"As a general rule when trains meet
between stations the train nearest the
turnout will run hack. Any dispute as
to which train is 10 retire Is to be de-
termined at once by the conductors,
without interference on the part Of the
enginemen. This rule is required to
be varied in favor of the heaviest load
ed engine, or worst grades II they
meet near the center"
Rule gives the conductor direc-
tions for reporting on the number OF
passengers who are paying and the
number of ministers Of the gospel who
were to be charged half price when on
business connected with their calling.
The same rule indicated that the gov
ernor Of the state and the general su-
perintendent Of the road were the
only individuals who had right to
give passes.
The conductor was ordered to in
spect the running gear Of his train at
every station and, in rule 13, was ad-
monished never to leave Atlanta or
Chattanooga without the mail or with
out first sending to the postofiice for
1t. Rule II says that a train stopping
at any station at night must invariably
be run on the turnout so as to leave
the main track clear, and that strict
watch had to be kept in all cases
where a train stopped at night.
In the regulations for passenger en-
ginemen there are a number which
seem almost humorous in this period
Of railroad management. For instance,
the engineman was instructed that il
his train killed any stock and threw
the COW or COWS in such position as
to endanger the safety Of the next
train he was to stop his train and see
that the track was cleared.
! Passenger trains were not to exceed
the speed Of their schedule except
when behind time, in which case the
speed might be increased three miles
an hour generally. In passing turn
outs Cthe turnout evidently was the
switching track the speed had to be
diminished to six miles an hour.-Rail.

SAFETY IN RAILROAD TRAVEL
Official Figures Show That There
Really Are Few Accidents on
American Railroad Lines.

Interesting illustrations of the great
degree OF safety attending travel on
American railroads are given by
prominent newspaper in an article
based on Interstate Commerce Com
mission figures which show that dur
ing the six years period, 1905-11, only
one passenger out of every 74,736 re-
ceived injury of any kind. and only
one out of every 2,275,123 was killed.
Commenting upon these figures this
paper says:
"A typical journey for all roads in
the country is now thirty-four miles,
and there are taken on the average
2,275,122 such journeys in safety to
each journey which results fatally. II
a man were to ride out these 2,275, ,122
safe journeys at two per day for each
business day in the year, 1t would
take him 1872 years. To have begun
in time to meet his death in 1914, he
would have had to start in the year
1778 B. c., 45S years before Moses led
the children OF Israel through the Red
Sea. By $50 B. c., when Romulus was
regulating Remus by modern meth
DDS, the commuter would have ridden
q, 900, 900 miles and have had 56,30O.-
444 yet to go. When Phidias, in 46O
B. c., was carving the Olympian Zeus,
our wayfarer would have been but
one-third of the way toward his
death; and even in the year $50 A.
D., when Alfred the Great was letting
the griddle cakes burn, this traveller
would have spent the equivalent OF
207 years on the trains running at 80
miles an hour, and would have had
81 years more Of actual travel to spend
before meeting his fatal accident"

FOR THE SAFETY OF WORKERS
Southern Railroad Takes Elaborate
Precautions to Protect Its Army
Of Employees.

A railroad on which during the past
five years not a passenger has been
killed while in a train has an eXcep-
tional record for safety. The Southern
Pacific, therefore, is in a position to
say that 1t has given full protection to
travellers. But the active "safety-first"
movement now in progress on that
great system indicates that the COM
pany has not done all in it's power to
conserve the lives of its employees. The
elaborate program now being carried
out, however, may be accepted as evil
dence that it realizes the importance
Of educating the men to take more
care of themselves" Railroad work Is
hazardous even under the best condi-
tions, and men grow so accustomed to
danger that they are ready to take
chances OF being injured or killed.
Constant effort is required to impress
upon them the necessity of being pru-
dent and vigilant.
The Southern Pacific plan includes
letters of instruction, bulletins, lee
lures, photographs and buttons, all
bearing on the subject Of safety. Presi-
dent William Sproule, who is giving
personal attention to the movement,
rightly says that human life and limb
are the dearest things we have, and
the company hopes by education to
make the workers watchful of them,

Electric Locomotive,

Electric locomotives can be run
more simply than steam locomotives.
As the Railway News points out, there
are no injectors, steam gauges or wa
terlevel indicators on an electric loco
motive; the crew need only to keep
a lookout and handle the switch and
brake gear intelligently. The working
parts are also very simple, for there
are no pistons and piston-rods, eccen-
tries, valve motions, and so forth. and
the moving parts of the control are
light, and can be easily reached when
ever It is necessary to inspect or re-
pair them. Moreover, the working
parts are not subject to such heavy
strains as those Of the steam locomo-
tive are.
