A WONDERFUL RECORD
Not A Single Passenger Killed On
The I'D. R. R. Lines During 1915.

Not A Single Passenger Killed On
The P. R. R. Lines During 1915.
Not a single passenger has been
killed on any of the lines embraced
in the Pennsylvania Railroad system
in the past two years, and three
years have passed since a passenger
was killed on the lines east of Pitts
burg. The average number of pas
'sengers carried each year has been
1885, 100000
This record for safety shows what
can be done when managers and the
employers set their minds on thing
Travelling by rail has become less
hazardous than travel in any other
way. Horseback riding is much more
dangerous, and automobiling is SO
perilous that if the railroads killed
as many as die from motorcar acct
dents in proportion to the number
riding the newspapers would be filled
with the horrible toll.
The rule of safety first is being OBJ
served, and it is proving to be a
pretty good one.
