Have Been Thrown Around Passengers and Employes Can Do No More Many famous wars have been fought with less loss of life and fewer casualties than are recorded every year in the opera tion of American raProads T h e soldier at the front again only faces death for a day or an hour at a time while he enjoys long peri ods of safety The railroad employe on the other hand and in a measure the passenger as well laces a con stant danger The astonishing death ttlksssgxsamfomr roads is frequent ly compared unfa vorably with that of European coun tries and lias been explained by many conflicting theories A new light has been thrown on the situation by W L Park general superintendent of the Union Pacific railroad whose views naturally carry unusual weight One human being is kiled every hour and one injured every ten min utes said Mr Park in explaining the situation There is a steady grinding and crunching of human flesh and bone under the juggernaut of modern car wheels It is the price we pay for progress for our great industrial conquest of the country Our railroads nevertheless con stitute to day the safest and most mag nificent highway in the world No where are the great problems of safe guarding life and property being studied so intelligently and earnestly as in America It is a common reproach that tli y do these things better abroad But consider at what a rate we have been building railroads In 1S30 there were but 23 miles of railroads in America In 1S50 there were less than 10000 miles The next 50 years witnessed the most marvelous growth of its kind in all history when 1S5000 miles of railroad were laid Then between 1SS0 and 1S90 some 70000 more miles were added We have not yet slowed down enough to realize what is best for safety A careful investigation of the subject shows that S5 per cent of all accidents are due to negligence on the part of railroad employes -and the re sult of carelessness both by passen gers and employes Faulty equipment therefore plays a far less important part in this death and accident rate than is commonly supposed Never theless the railroads are attacking this problem with surprising energy The principal causes of accidents so far as the regular equipment is con cerned were given by Mr Park in the following order To lessen the death rate said Mr Park it is important that we have light grades and that all curves should be avoided Valley lines should be built above the high water mark Em bankments should be of liberal width and all tracks should be properly bal lasted Bridges and openings in em bankments should be of a permanent nature The view of the tracks at sta tions should be kept open If a sta tion stands on a curve it should be on the outside Buildings such as pumphouses or water tanks should be set well back All fences should be permanent preferably of concrete con struction There should be no grade crossings and no crossing of tracks at grade The number of safety devices in actual operation in our railroads will come as a surprise to the average lay man Our lives are safeguarded to day by electrical devices which would have seemed magical to the railroad man of a generation since Mr Park continued There is the electrically locked switch the interlocking of crossings and junctions the alarm bell at railroad crossings the auto matic washout and landslide warn ings the telephone train dispatching and many other automatic electric sig nals all of which are being installed rapidly The total mileage of auto matic signals on all railroads in the United States on January 1 1909 was 12190 Stockholders Point of View Railroad people do not so much dread strikes as they dread the effect upon net earnings of granting merely such demands for higher pay as they privately believe to be reasonable Their last experience with wage in creases was practically awkward Late in 1907 and early in 190S when the higher schedules began to go into effect gross earnings began to van ish and between the increase of out go and the diminished income the results on income statements were heartbreaking New York Evening Post Enormous Freight Engine A huge freight engine weighing 300 tons built for the Southern Pacific railroad is capable of hauling at ten miles an hour a train of 139 cars weighing with load 72 tons each The train weighing 10000 tons would reach for over a mile
