Signalling Trains Through New Quebec Tunnel Through a anile -long tunnel, under the historic Plains of Abra- ham, 'where Wolfe de- feated Montcalm and won Quebec and Can- ada for Britain in 1759, passengers from the Canadian Pacific Railway Company's palatial White Em- presses make their first entry into Canada, from the Wolfe's Cove docks, joining the main line of the world's greatest transporta- tion system at, St. Malo, thus saving a long trip through local terminals and speed- ing up their journey to Montreal and their respective destinations beyond. The signal system in connection with the new tunnel is of particular interest, for it not only handles trains through the tunnel and on to the main line, but covers tramline and railway cross- ings which are made on the way to the tunnel mouth at the land end. A signal cabin on the main line, at the outskirts of the city houses the control system, The operator faces a board, shown in the top picture, which consists of a number of electric levers for opening and closing switches and also has 20 rotary buttons, for operating the lights of a like number' of signals at various points on the trackage covered. By the same board, the operator is able to locate his train or trains at any moment. It will be rioted that the control board is practically a map of the tunnel tracks, the numbers on it eorresportding to those on the signal posts. The line running down the board is the tunnel and the toprepresent the tracks'bf the ;main line. The signals to engineers lines across the of it re re ., from the posts are made by means of red, yellow and green light%, indicating stop , " " and "proceed", �� ,caution; roceed � res. egg. *k''..
