Illinois Central System Calls Attention
to the Careful Crossing Campaign
The safety section of the American Railway Association haa announced its
"Careful Crossing Campaign," to be in progreaa from June 1 to September SO. In
the past, these four months have been the yorst third of the year for motor vehicle
grade-crossing accidents. . In preparation for the campaign, the country haa been
covered with posters and stickers bearing a grade-crossing aceno, showing a locomo
tive in the act of striking an automobile occupied by men, women and children.
Above the picture are these words in large letters: "Cross Crossings Cautiously."
The public will understand the aeriouaneaa of this problem when it in explained
that the number of motor vehicles registered in the United States increased from
1,033,096 in 1912 to 10,449,785 in 1921. There is now one motor vehicle for every
ten persons in the United States.
Some believe that it is the duty of the railroads to protect motor vehicle users
from their own carelessness by separating the grades at crossings. There are 252,000
railway grade-crossings in the United States. It has been estimated that it would
cost $12,600,000,000 to eliminate them, or two-thirds of the total value of the rail
roads as established by the Interstate Commerce Commission for rate-making pur
poses. It will be seen, therefore, that grade-crossing elimination is out of the ques
tion, at least for a long time to come. If the drivers of motor vehicles can be edu
cated to "Stop, Look and Listen" at crossings, this will give the same result as the
expenditure of $12,600,000,00, so far as safety is concerned.
The railroads have made splendid progress in reducing the number of accidents
resulting in injury to their passengers and employes. However, motor .vehicle grade
crossing accidents have been steadily increasing for years. These accidents are
caused almost entirely by the negligence of motor vehicle drivers, and for that reason
the efforts of the railroads to reduce them have been unavailing.
-. During 1920 there were 3,012 automobiles struck on grade-crossings. In these
accidents there were 1,273 persons killed and 3,977 persons injured. If the drivers
of the motor vehicles involved in these accidents had "Stopped, Looked and Lis
tened" at the crossings, not one of the accidents would have occurred.
A motor vehicle in the hands of a careful driver is an agency for safety. It can
be driven up close to the railway track and stopped in, perfect safety differing
from horse-drawn vehicles in that respect.
The Illinois Central System heartily approves the "Careful Crossing Campaign"
of the safety section of the American Railway Association. We appeal to our pa
trons and friends and our employes to co-operate in every way possible to make the
campaign successful.
r. We want the public to know us and what we stand for. Our motto is "Service."
By co-operation with our patrons we have found many ways in which we can render
them exceptional service, and our patrons, in turn, have served us well. ..
Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited.
