H Mr. Annuuias, you hud better leave H a membership card; the witness ap- H pears to be weakening. H If more testimony is needed, it can H be obtained from other railroads. For H example, the Illinois Central found H that M per cent of the automobiles H crossing tin mpany's tracks went H at Inch speed,- with drivers neither M looking to the left nor i ight, while two B thirds of all the cars observed, went HBl over the trucks in excess of 80 miles BW an H This testimony appears a strong in- BH dirttnent of the motorists und sltOWl BB that the majority of railroad accidents B and near accidents where motor purs M are concerned in the coroner's report, B may be pluced at the door of the dri- BBj ver. A hie; percentage of deaths have Hbb been laid to the attempt of the driver BK to beat the train to a crossing -trying " to save time but not trying to save B- lives. It can be seen that the ruil- BBl road's attempt to emphasize 'Safety BBT First" needs u co-operating enroli- BB ment of motorists. BB The Dort car took part In some train versus uuto tests this week th.it demonstrate why the motorist must BB watch the railroad crossings and not BV leave the burden to the man in the cab or to a watchman that may not be on BB duty. A Southern Pacific train pulled Bl by an Alantic type engine and made up of eight passenger coaches making H . a total train weight of 7f0,000 pound-. BBT was used in the test with the Dort. V An engine was not tisecr alone because H it would serve M practical purpose m and for the surprising reason to lay- H men offered by R. J. Clancy, assistant BBJ to the general manager of the South- m em Pncifle, that, an engine cannot H stop as quickly the engine and train. 1 The first test was made at 60 miles BBT an hour and the train came to a stand H in 1,806 feet. This speed, although H equalled by many on the highway, is B an exception, and to make the cotn- M parision more practical, no similar BBT test was made with the Dort car. Following are the distances required M to stop the train and car at -needs of M 40 miles an hour, and IB. B 10 miles an hour. Dort. '-"-' feet B miles an hour. Dort 12 t et ; BftB IE mile an hour.
