Sixteen million. six hundred fifty

From January l to June so a total
OF 2,4s6.504 tests and observations
were made on the roads Eastern lines
TO determine how we'll signals were
being obeyed and the train operating
rules followed.
The results showed perfect perform
ance in more than 99.9 per cent. of
the cases. To be exact, in only one in
stance in each 1924 trials was there
any failure to follow implicitly the
signal indications or to obey the regu-
lations governing train operation.
Tests Are Crucial
These efficiency tests are conducted
under the strictest rules. For in
stance, if an engineman runs his loco
motive one foot past a stop" signal,
his action counts as a failure
In the period during which these
tests were made, 76,70O,0 900 passengers
were carried on the lines east of Pitts
burgh, and not a single one was killed
in train accident.
The Pennsylvania roads Eastern
lines now have a continuous record of
three and one-half years. during which
better than 99.9 per cent. of perfec-
tion has been shown by 16,65S.649
tests Of the efficiency. fidelity and dis
cipline of the men who operate the
trains. In that period $4,000, 600
passengers have been carried on the
lines east of Pittsburgh, Erie and Buff
falo. and not one has lost his life in
