Automatic Safety Devices Installed by North Shore Line A new type of automatic electricallyoperated safety gate, which is said to have proved highly succes~ful in practical tests at three locatiOns on the ·Chicago, North Shore and Milwaukee railroad, will be installed at twenty.six additional crossings on that road between Niles Center and Racine, it is announced by ] ohn R. Blackball, general manager. The folJowing towns on the Shore Line route will r eceive this additional crossing protection: Lake Bluff, Fort Sheridan, North Chicago, Waukegan, Zion, Kenosha and Racine. In addition the following crossings on the Skokie Valley route will be equipped with the automatic gates: Main street, Ni le s Center road, Glenview road, Willow road. Dunde e road Deerfield road and Deerpath avenue. "These automatic safety gates furnish as nearly perfect crossing protection as human ingenuity has yet made possible," said Mr. Blackhall in announcing this move to increase the safety of North Shore line grade crossings. "The approaching train itself operates the gates by closing an electric track circuit, which is arranged so that warning is given by both bells and lights at least 35 seconds ahead of a train at the highest speed operated. In our practical tests the circuit was completed by approaching trains when 2,200 feet from the crossings. "Failure of a vehicle to stop · will no t result in these gate.s being destroyed when the arms are down, as the barriers swing around parallel to the road when struck. Springs in the gate posts then automatically re tu_rn the arms to normal upright position. Possibility of power failure was ·the only obstacle to overcome. This is guarded against by having two and in some locations three sources of power available. The North Shore Line management is confident that these automatic gates will greatly increase public security by eliminating grad.e crossing haza,rds wherever they a_ re mstalled." .J~Ili~d Orders taken for fancy Ice Cream Moulds Orange Cubts in Vanilla lc~ Crum Snider-Cazel Drug Co.
