In 191(1 the Pennsylvania Railroad system carried in its trains more peni pie than apy previous year of its history. and did so without losing the life of a single passenger in a train : accident of any kind. Statistics ' which have just been compiled show ' that during the year there were ! transported safely, on the lines east I and west of Pittsburg, 196,294,146 passengers. Figures for the last few weeks of the year are necessarily partly estimated. The heaviest freiglit traffic ever handled by the Pennsylvania railroad system was moved over its lines jit the same time that those passengers were being > carried without loss of life. ■ The entire. Pennsylvania railroad system, taking into account every as filiated company cither east or west of Pittsburg, now lias to its credit three full calendar years in which no passenger lias .been killed as a result of a train accident on any portion of its lines. During this period 553,890, 063 passengers equal to live and onehalf times the population of the United Slates have been safely transported a total distance of approximately lifteen billions of miles, or 150 times as far as the sun is from the earth. Upward of 9,000,000 trains, carrying both passengers and freiglit, were operated by day and night, through sleet and storm, and fog and sunshine, over 12,000 miles of railroad line and 27.000 miles of track, while these passengers were being taken on their journeys without loss of life. On Hie lines of lhe Pennsylvania railroad, east of Pittsburg, no passenger's life lias been lost in a train accident during any of the last four calendar years, and in that period G1i1.G26.857 people have traveled safely over these lines alone.
