Model Railway Management.
Under this heading the Railway Times says: “On the Michigan Central Road, for over sixteen years past, not a drop of blood has been drawn from man, woman or child, inside the cars, and just now the modus operandi is especially important. At all hours of the day and night there sits an operator in the Kalamazoo station (midway of the line), who receives telegrams from each train on the road the instant it enters or leaves a station, so that he holds or starts it at will. His eye is literally on the entire line continually, making a collision next to an impossibility and the immense single track quite equivalent, so far as safety is concerned, to the double track roads. The twelve and sixteen wheel coaches, admitting of the breaking of almost any one of the wheels without disabling the truck, constitute also a no small item in the aggregate of immunity from peril.”
