gineman in the locomotive cab is
fallible, and, although he is always
careful, he makes mistakes, as the
commissions accident reports have
repeatedly declared. The Pennsyl-
vania accident was caused by a false
clear indication signal, and the re
port indicated a defect in the sig
mailing system. The signal remained
in clear position until after the acci-
dent. when 1t should have warned the
engineer he was approaching an open
switch. &.

repetition and force of argument, 70
impress further upon the railroads of
the country its argument for train
control devices. The commission
many months ago ordered forty-nine
major railroads to install on at least
one engine division an automatic
train control device which filed the
specifications of the federal regula-
tory body. Forty-three other rail-
roads were ordered to install similar
equipment on at least one engine diyi-
sion by January. 1926, and in the
meantime the first group must have
installed the device on another engine
division.
In this way the installations will
be progressive until further orders
are issued compelling installation on
