The exhibit is in charge of three
government officials OF railroad ex-
perience who explain the various ap-
pliances and standards adopted. In
the locomotive inspection service ex-
hibit, which is OF interest to travellers
and especially to railroad men, is
shown how the government SUPER
vises the condition OF some $4,000 To-
comotives.
A complete working model of a To-
connective is included in the exhibit,
illustrating various defective condi-
lions which the law aims TO remedy;
two compete boilers which can be
/ fired and are used to show circulation
Of water and other interesting facts,
sectional models OF various locomo-
tive appurtenances md numerous ex-
amples Of failed material which have
caused accidents, are also shown.
The division OF locomotive inspec-
ton created by law to carry this inn
portant provision into effect, COM
prises a chief inspector. two assist
ant chief inspectors, with an ade-
quate office force, located In Wash
ington. and field force OF so in
spectors in the classified service and
selected from long list of elegibles
who passed rigid examination dem
onstrating their qualifications and ft-
ness.
The most convincing evidence,
however, OF the improvement brought
about by the law is the marked re-
duction in the number OF accidents.
Whenever the failure of any Of the
equipment covered by the law re-
suits in serious personal injury or
death, the carrier operating the .oco-
motive is required to report the fact
by wire to the Chief Inspector, in
Washington, who has prompt and
proper investigation made. With the
information thus obtained the divis-
Ion takes necessary action to remedy
conditions or practices with view
to preventing similar accidents.
During the first year of the opera
ton of the law S56 accidents due to
failure OF locomotive boilers or their
appurtenances were reported, the cas-
ralties amounting to 81 deaths and
1905 cases of personal injury. Due
to the decided improvement brought
about in the maintenance Of equip
ment, there followed in each of three
succeeding years marked decrease.
The records for the last fiscal year
show there were only 424 such acct
dents. resulting nthirteen deaths and
467 injuries, which represents de-
crease in three years of SO per cent
in the number of accidents, IS per
cent in the number of fatalities, and
So per cent In the personal injury.
Upon special invitation of the B.
& o. officials the Cumberland Acad-
envy OF Medicine will visit the "Safe-
ty First" train today at p. M,
