BIO. R.R. Sponsors
Safety Program
Representative Group OF Civic
Leaders OF County Hear Pro-
gram Explained By w. M.
Murphey, B. & o. Supt.

Nlufpneys %. C& " Supts
A group of civic leaders of Wash
ington County met in the Hotel
Alexander yesterday to hear dis
cussion of grade crossing accidents
and ways to prevent them. The
meeting was sponsored by the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad, and w. M
Murphey superintendent of the Rail
road, who was the speaker, asked
the community help in an intensified
safety program.
Part of expanded activity
throughout the IS states where the
B & o operates, the program here,
that was outlined at the meeting,
will be directed primarily at i'm
pressing good safety habits on mo-
florists and pedestrians The rail
road has been doing similar work
for many years.
Mr.. Murphey said that a study of
grade crossing accidents showed
that in one out of every three, the
train already was on the crossing
when it was struck by motor We
hicle More than 90 per cent of the
people in all grade crossing accidents
live near the crossing.
''They above all, should never
have had their collision with the
trains because they were familiar
with the crossings" said Mr.. Muir
phey, and he then stated that elm
ination of grade crossings by con-
structing overpasses or underpasses
is not economically possible.
"Since there are more than $500
crossing on the B & o and the cost
of grade crossing separation today
ranges from 100000 to more than
$1,000,000 per crossing, the funds re-
quired for total crossing elimination
on the B & o would exceed a bill
lion dollars" he explained.
About $48,000,000, an average of
more than $1,000,00O per year, has
been spent in eliminating 428 B & O
crossings since 1907. In the last sew
en- years, more than $1,500,000 has
been spent to squip 303 crossings
with fiashlight signals and gates
Other crossings are protected by
suitable warning signs.
Gas funds become available, auto
matte protection will be provided at
more and more crossings, selected
from the standpoint of accident ex-
perience and traffic conditions" Mr.
Murphey said. while such devices
have contributed materially to grade
crossing accident prevention, too
many drivers still disregard them.
I'm addition to causing serious ac-
cidents, these drivers run into and
damage the signals, run through and
break crossing gates and even run
down and injure watchmen. There
have been as many as five or six in
stances of this nature on the B & O
in single day.
"Thus, although protective devices
have helped reduce accidents, they
obviously are not a cure all Greater
effort must be made to educate driv-
ers and make them grade crossing
safety conscious.
The B & o motion picture, t"The
Happy Locomotive" was shown at
the meeting. Designed to reduce
juvenile trespassing on railroads, the
film has been shown to more than
| 100000 school children. Particu-
lar effort will be made to reach this
group again with the grade crossing
program, Mr. Murphey said, since
they are the drivers of tomorrow.
