MUCH CARELESSNESS At
R. R. CROSSINGS REPORTED

Inspectors of the Pennsylvania
Railroad have completed another
check upon automobile drivers at
selected highway crossings in Penn
sylvania, New York, Delaware, Mary
land and Virginia, to determine the
extent and character of carelessness
displayed in driving motor cars over
railroad tracks. The facts in S31
specific cases OF gross negligence
have been compiled and enalyzed
The following forms Of careless driv-
ing were noted:
Failing to look in either direction
for trains.
D~isregarding the stop signal of
crossing watchmen.
Driving under crossing gates in
front of trains while gates were be-
ing lowered.
Running on crossings before stop
ping. not having a under-eeHtrol-
Sailing on the tracks.
Stopping cars on crossings and
turning around on the tracks.
Paying no attention to the loco
Jtive warning whistles.
Racing automobiles across the
tracks to beat trains.
AT one crossing, during a period
of seventeen hours, seventy-three
cars, bearing license tags from hNe
different states, averaged thirty
en- miles per hour when runninG
across the railroad tracks and in two
instances they were making a mile
a minute.
At another crossing nineteen new
and inexperienced drivers were OBJ
served, fifteen tried to beat other
automobiles across the railroaG
tracks and one car was driven TWEEN
ty-fve miles per hour in the dark
without lights.
1t was not possible to tell how
many cars had defective brakes. but
four recent accidents at crossings
on the Pennsylvania System were as
c~ertained to be due to this cause.

twenty thousand dollars, amount in
sufficient to pay the ordinary ex-

State Highways.
To show the evil Of our assessment
being practically written in the Of

sion, last year a tax payer in this

head of cattle, which under the in

of twenty dollars per head; in the
fall of the year he actually sold
seventy five head of the pick Of his
