"When Prlnco Henry mado his long Journey through tho country," said an old railroad official, talking of recent rnllrqnd nccldonts, tho schedules were so arranged that his train never passed a moving train anywhere on tho road. Tho deadly danger from that source Is well known among railroad rail-road men, although thoy aro not much given to talking nbout it. Accidents to theso long merchandise trains are constantly occurring. "Not a quarter of thom get Into tho papers, yet hardly a day passej that tho papors do not havo an ac count of ono 'trains lato owing to a frolght wreck;' 'both tracks blocked two hours by coal train smash,' and bo on. Tho public gives little heed to them, but thoy aro tho greatest dan-gor dan-gor In modern railroading." |
