Right.—Exterior of tower with view of tracks showing some of t1, signals switch plant. Fnlrostatisties which cover all railroads and cities on the North American Continent it has been adduced that pedestrians on city streets are much more liable to meet with an accident than are the travellers by tram, yet few of those who rely upon the railroads to carry then with safety a p d 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 traffic. Because, with few exceptions, every industry contributes to the upkeep and operation of the railroads, science of late years has contributed more to .railroad engineering than to anything other than medicine. As new appliances areevglved, 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, 11.B., and at various points elsewhere. These el ,etrically operated plants at points where the lines, of two companies cross, eliminate all danger of trains crashing into one another at crossings, and considerably faeilitate train. movements.. Electrice,lly operated interlocking plants have been operated by this Company for many years, and although not actually revenue bearingthey have afforded an additional degree of safety, which can hardly be reckoned in dollars and cents. As an instance of what these plants are and doe --trains approaching Montreal• from all over the continent, with a few exceptions, converge at Montreal West, and run over the same tracks from there 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 .trains use these traclts daily, and it is to safely govern these trains that three electrical interlocking plants have been installed, at Montreal West,Westmount and the entrance to Windsor Station. , The one at Westinount was last installed, replacing the bond lever system which controlled trains entering; or leaving the Glen Yards and using the main lines, That signal tower, which houses most expensive apparatus, 11 s entirely fire proof, and has two stories and: a basement. The top floor contains the interlocking maeh]ne or levers; by which the signals and switches are controlled, an, illuminated plan of the tracks under control and tele.• phones giving direct communication with'the towers at. Montreal West and Windsor Station and the train lea.. patcher and yardmaster at the Glen Yard. ` . . On the ground Poor 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. The track plan, directly over the levers, is electrically lighted, and by watching small light bulbs, the operator - is able to mark the approach and progress of all trains.: A bell rings when an approaching train is within one miler of the plant, and continues to ring until the signal -maxi clears the signals and sets the switches over the route. The levers opera -nag the switches and signals are so interlocked that a signal cannot he given for a train to pass through 1irou gh til, plant until a route for it has been set:.. up, and it is impossible for a conflicting move to be made which would endaliger it or any other train. When the operator has cleared a signal the switches are so leaked. that they cannot be changed until the train has peesecl, 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 ie: known as the "Time Release", a clockwork meehan]sln which opens and closes electric circuits, unlocking the, levers after a time limit of iron one to three minutes. The speed with which trains may travel over ,serao. routes is limited, and the object of the time release is to, prevent the operator from changing the route so that f fast train would proceed over a slow track. This safety apparatus, unheeded by the travellin • public generally, y, cost a great deal to instal, and the Canadian Pacific receives to teturn for this except that which accrues through the additional safety and deep, patch' of its trains.
