Montgomery

In Montgomery County, a
decision to reroute school buses
from two main line grade
crossings was made several
weeks ago by the school boards
transportation director. Rich
ard M. Ream.
Mr.. Ream said the two
crossings always worried me-"
They were at Halpine and
Randolph roads, the only loca-
tons where school buses
crossed main railroad lines in
the county. Baltimore & Ohio
railroad crossings in the upper
.county-at Gaithersburg, Boyds
and Dickerson - are made
through underpasses.
At four spots in the county,
school buses cross seldom
used spur lines where trains
pass at a slow pace after d
brakeman halts automobile
traffic.
The spur line crossings are
on River road, Dorset avenue,
Jones Mill road and Connecti-
cut avenue.

Arlington

Both school officials and rail-
road spokesman agree that raifA
road crossings in Arlington
County do not present a prob
lem.
A school official said school
buses travel over two grade
crossings, but that all of these
involve freight lines over which
slow-moving and infrequent
trains pass.
A Washington & Old Domin-
ion Railroad spokesman said
the railroad maintains about
II miles of single-track right
of-way in the county. The rail
line connects Alexandria with
the railroad terminus in Pur-
cellville, Loudoun County.
A spur line, or switchback,
branches away from the main
line and connects with Rosslyn.
In addition, the Pennsylvania
Railroad has a short spur line
which crosses the Fourteenth
Street Bridge to the Pentagon.
The spur continues a short dis
lance to RoSSlyn.

are observed to insure that
buses cross the tracks safely.
The survey was prompted by
a school bus-train accident in
Oakland, Md, on September
10 which killed seven children.
Last Wednesday a grand jury
investigating the accident rec
commended that trains decrease
their speed during school hours,
especially at crossings; flashing
red lights to be installed on top
i of all school buses, and that
school bus drivers be given pc
riodic surprise checks.
School officials in Fairfax
County, Va. and Prince Georges
County, Md, reported each area
has 10 railroad crossings used
by school buses.
Montgomery County, Md, has
four; Arlington County, Va,

Mrs. Katherine B. Oettinger,

Alexandria

The only grade crossing used
by school buses in Alexandria
is where a sidetrack crosses
Washington street at Wilkes
street.
Assistant Superintendent
Raymond F. Sanger said three
buses cross that track each
school day. He added that a
school guard always is on duty
near that location and signals
to the buses if a train is APP
preaching. He noted, however.
that the track is used only a
few times a week and that
trains always travel at low
speed.
Mr.. Sanger said one bus
crosses the track daily enroute
to Lyles Crouch Elementary
School. Two buses cross on
their way to the Robert E.
Lee Elementary School.

Fairfax County

In Fairfax County, 90 county
school buses cross 10 railway
tracks twice daily.
William H. Ebhardt, super
visor Of school transportation,
said bus drivers cross tracks
only when necessary.
Buses he said, are timed for
the number of seconds it takes
them to cross the railroad
tracks. The average bus takes
about 6 seconds to cross a
double line of tracks, he said.
Mr.. Ebhardt outlined this
safety procedure:
Each bus stops at the grade
crossing so the driver can look
both ways along the track. The
youngster that serves as safety
patrolman, gets out and crosses
the tracks, looking both ways.
The patrolman then waves
the driver across. Before start
ing up, the driver again looks
both ways and then crosses in
low gear, not changing gears
until he is across.
Mr.. Ebhardt said two school
employees are on the road at all
time checking for safety viola
tons by bus drivers.
County police and Southern
Railway inspectors also check
on the drivers, he added.
Seven school buses cross over
three Southern Railway grade
crossings twice a day in Fair
fax. Two Of the crossings are
at Burke and one at Clifton.
There are seven grade cross
ings on the single track Old
Dominion line, which is used
infrequently, Mr.. Ebhardt said.
The crossings and the number
of buses using them are:
Vienna. 5; Dunn Loring road,
2; Cedar Lane road, 8; Shreve
road, 4; Route Z in Falls
Church, /; Herndon, 6, and
Hunter Mill road, l.
All buses make the crossings
twice daily.

became a four-engine turbo-
prop which reversed its pro-
pellerS, jounced once and
settled down to a smooth

President Eisenhower, fol-

and civilian aides, strobe
solemnly, almost funereally,
to the foot of the special
loading ramp which was
wheeled into position on the
wrong Side-from a photog-
rapher'S point of view.
AS Mr.. Eisenhower waited,
first with hand on hip and
then with his hands clasped
behind him, the tension
among the newsmen became
almost unbearable.
Restrained as we were by
guide ropes, military police
with fixed bayonets, and a
raft of agents in multi, the
photographers and reporters
still flowed almost impercep-
tibly toward the plane.
All but the Match man,
that is. He sat indifferently
on his wastebasket and APP
peared unaffected by his

An MVD man in generals
uniform scrambled up the

report that it was safe for
the Soviet dictator to come
out.
Then hatless and alone,
Mr.. Khrushchev waddle d
down the steps, the medals
on his dark suit and his bald
pate glistening in the sun.
Mr.. Eisenhower clasped the
visitors hand and a kind of
moan came from the pho
tographers who were too far
away to record the meeting.
Mrs. Khrushchev and her
daughters descended, fol-
lowed by other members of
the party. These in turn
were welcomed by the Presi-
dent, who with Mr.. Khru-
shchev began walking toward
the red-carpet welcome at

Prince Georges County has
about 200 school buses which
carry more than $4,000 stu

If possible, buses are routed
around railroad crossings even
if the route is heightened by an
