An experimental test of a new
signal system and automatic engine
control system, as proposed by the
interstate commerce commission, is
being tried out on the Burlington
line between Creston and the Mis
souri river. The equipment is now
being installed and a test of its
practicality will soon be matle.
The new system provides auto
matic signal lights and control by
electrical apparatus of the speed of
the engine and the brakes.
At present the signal lights flash,
giving warning when a train is a
certain distance ahead and another
signal if the truck is impaired in
some manner. The new system will
automatically slow down the speed
of the engine when the signal in
dicates a train ahead, or in case of
a broken . rail it will automatically
apply the brakes.
Similar systems are being put on
trial by a number of other rail
roads throughout the country.
