Engineer Makes An Appeal To Motorists What the engineer in the cab ex-1 perlences when a motorist is trying to beat his train to a crossing is described by Engneer Ben Cragdon of tile Rock Island Lines in an article in a recent issue of the Rock Island magazine. Engineer Cragdon says in part: "It you were on the river bank, and saw a little child running toward the river, sure to fall in and drown, unless it stopped, and you were powerless to help it, you might realize the position in which the engineer is placed almost daily and sometimes several times a day by the automobile drivers who will take chances. "Take the longest and slowest freight train —say one-half mile long, traveling at the rate of fifteen miles per hour—and it will take but two minutes to pass a given point, and a passenger train will take about ten seconds. Would you bet that much time against a chance of death? “Is it not a fact that passenger trains are sometimes mistaken for freight trains, and that watching a train coming from one drection takes your attention from a train coming in the opposite direction? Some awful ' accidents have happened in just this way“I have seen a man driving a car with his wife and children in it race for the crossing with all their attention on the train they were trying to beat, and when they get across, smile and wave at the engine crew. They just missed being hit by a train from the other direction. “There is a distance at which the driver should not attempt to cross ahead of a train with safety, and at that distance the engineer will sound the warning whistle. “From our experience in watching automobile drivers at railroad crossings we know that most drivers are careful. It is to those who are not careful that we make this appeal, for the engineer is in a position to know the desperate chances you are taking, because he has too often seen the unfortunate results in loss of life and property damage caused by your mistakes, and if he gives you warning after warning with the whistle, please stop. "The Engineer is not trying to scare you, but is making every effort to prevent an accident. Won’t you co-operate with him for the permanent careful crossing campaign means much to both of us?" —Railroad Data, Aug. 28, 1925. —. o - ALL OVER INDIANA Goshen. — Ice cream has been used as an inducement to get church members to Sunday evening services here.
