TESTS
ON PENNSY LINES
SHOW GOOD RESULTS

One Of the chief factors that has
enabled the Pennsylvania railroad to
maintain a long record for the safe
transportation of passengers Is re.
vealed in the report of efficiency tests
on the lines east of Pittsburg, which
has just been compiled for the first
six months Of 1916. 49,
From January l to June 30 of this
year, total Of 2,496,504 tests and
observations were made on the Penn
sylvania railroads eastern lines to
determine how well 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 reg
ulations governing train operation
These efficiency tests are conducted
under the strictest rules For instance
IT an engineman runs his locomotive
one foot past a stop" signal, his ac-
ton counts as failure.
In the period during which these
tests were made, 76,700,000 passen-
gers were carried on the lines east of
Pittsburg, and not single one was
killed in train accident
The Pennsylvania railroads eastern
lines now have a continuous record Of
three and one-half years during which
better than 99.9 per cent. of perfection
has been shown by 16,65S,649 tests Of
the efficiency, fidelity and discipline
Of the men who operate the trains.
In that period 396,000.00O passengers
have been carried on the lines east Of
Pittsburg, Erie and Buffalo. and not

fore one between Atchison and Topeka
is the opinion here
The field for an interurban out OF
Atchison is west and north The
towns between Atchison and Topeka
would not help Atchison as much as
those to the north and west. 1t would
be the idea to run a line from Atchison
west to Holton and another north and
west to Hiawatha. Later the latter
could be extended on to Falls CITY.
but the two lines would be enough for
