CAMPAIGN OF
RAILR0ADCUT
ACCIDENT TOLL
Baltimore and Ohio Succeeds
in Broad Campaign to
Reduce Casualties
Is PER CENT DECREASE

Highway crossing casualties or
the Baltimore and Ohio System FOL
the months of June. July, and Az
gust this year, as compared with the
same months in 1922, dropped IA
per cent.
Comparing the three summer
months just passed with those OF
1921, there was a reduction Of rs
per cent in the number OF persons
killed and injured.
These figures, just announced. by
the Safety Department Of the Balti-
more and Ohio, indicate conclusively
that the Careful Crossing Campaign,
which was in progress the past sum-
mer and the summer Of 1922, was
fruitful despite the fact that there
was an increase of about "a per
cent in the number Of licensed auto
mobiles in 1923 over 1922.
There are $3.50 crossings at grade
on this railroad system and it oper-
ates through states showing an au-
tomobile registration Of 6,200,800.
While the former figure is gradually
DECREASING, the latter is growing
each week. 1t was announced recent
ly that the automobile manufactur-
ers had reached the enormous pro-
duction Of 100000 passenger cars
the first eight months Of this year,
with another quarter Of . million Of
motor trucks.
AnA a
monster problem to contend with
this year, the Baltimore and Ohio
began in May last to prepare its en-
ployes to launch upon q campaign Of
education in an effort to point out tc
the automobile driver the necessity
of care at highway grade crossings.
The campaign, known as the Careful
Crossing Campaign, and engaged in
by all the railroads of the nation,
was started June l., sn6 from that
time on, employees Of the Baltimore
and Ohio lost no opportunity to
bring the objects Of the drive - the
attention of every operator.
But it was not to be one-sidsd
campaign. The employees themselves
were given to understand that they
should do all in their power to pre-
vent accidents. Engineers were per-
sonally solicited by their superiors
to sound whistles and ring bells be.
fore approaching every highway
grade crossing. .Trackmen, signal
men, even the clerks, were asked to
observe dangerous crossings and re-
port any that were in need Of re-
pair. =.
Observers were sent out to check
up engineers as to the proper sound
ing of crossing signals. Other OBJ
servers watched automobile drivers
and noted down those who did not
use precautions to safeguard them
selves. No stone was left, unturned
to enlist the help Of every employe,
and the results indicate that every
one did his part.
