"htâ€"latch of tower with view of tracks showing some of the i” switch plant From statistics which cover all railroads and cities on the North American Continent it has been adduced that pedatrians on city streets are much more liable to meet with an accident than are the travellers by train, yet few of those who rely upon the railroads to carry them with safety and despatch from one place to another appreciate the enormous amount of energy and money which is expended annually on the installation and main- tenance of the myriad safety appliances and devices which insure the safe and quick handling of rail traflic. Because, with few exceptions, every industry contributes to the upkeep and o ration of the railroads, science of late years has contri uted more to railroad engineering than to anything other than medicine. As new appliances are evolved, so they are tested for their practicability, and being found serviceable are placed into use. That Canadian railroads are not behind those of other countries in the adoption of improved appliances is evidenced by the fact that the Canadian Pacific Railway has recently installed electrical Interlocking Plants at all points where its rail crossings were unprotected along the line from Montreal to St. John, N.B., and at various points elsewhere. These el ‘ctrically operated plants at points where the lines of two companies cross, eliminate all danger of trains crashing into one another at crossings, and considerably facilitate train movements. Electrically operated interlocking plants have been :rerated by this Company for many years. and thou h not actually revenue bearing they haw ail'orded an ad 'tional degree of safety, which can hardly be reckoned in dollars and cents. As an instance of what these plants are and dozâ€"trains approaching Montreal from all over the continent-with a few exceptions, DOV-â€" w " eonver e at Montreal West, and run over the same tracks from t ere to Windsor Street Station, a distance of 4.6 miles. Taking into consideration the empty ones; and those given over to freight, it is obvious that hundreds of trnins use these tracks daily, and it is to safely govern thue trains that t ree electrical interlocking plants have been installed et ontreal West, Westmount. and the mtnnce to incisor Station. The one at Weetmount was last installed, replacing the bud lever system which controlled trains entering OUT A $709 ‘To.

And now that he has many bones, this Richard is a here: he brags of everything he owns and makes his neighbors sore, He walks the streets with kingly strides as though he owned the earth; he’s swollen with nnwholesome pride which stirs the hoys to mirth. He thinks men envy and admire as up the street he wends, but his loud actions only tirr the chaps who were his friends. They think him, when he looms in view. a dismal also-ran; “Gee whiz,” This safety apparatus. unheeded by the travelling public generally, cost a great deal to instal, and the Canadian Pacific receives no return for this except that which accrues through the additional safety and des- patch of its trains. The levers operating the switches and signals are so interlocked that a signal cannot be given for a train to pass through the plant until a route for it has been set up, and it is impossible for a conflicting: move to be made which would endanger it or any other train. When the operator has cleared a signal the switches are so locked that they cannot he changed until the train has passed over them. Should a train be required to travel over a route other than the. one originally set up for it, the signal man cannot make the change without operating what is known as the “Time Release”, :1 cloa'kwork mechanism which opens and closes electric circuits, unlocking the levers after a time limit of from one to three minutes The speed with which trains may travel over some routes is limited, and the object of the time release is to prevent the operator from changing the route so that a fast train would proceed over a slow track. ‘ The track plan, directly over the levers, is electrically lighted, and by watching small 1i ht bulbs, the operator is able to mark the approach an progress of all trains. A bell rings when an approaching train is within one mile of the plant, and continues to ring until the signal-man clears the signals and sets the switches over the route. On the ground floor is the power apparatus, the switch boards, relays and other necessary apparatus, and the basement, specially ventilated, contains 55 cells of storage battery with a capacity of 160 ampere hours, or sufficient to operate the plant for one week without recharging. or leaving the Glen Yards and using the main lines. Tht signal tower, which houses most expensive apparatus, is entirely fire proof, and has two stories and a basement. The top floor contains the interlocking machine or levers hr which the signals and switches are controlled, an iluminated plan of the tracks under control and tele- bones giving direct communication with the towers at ontreal West and Windsor Station and the train des- patcher and yardmaster at the Glen Yard.
