Brakeman In Freight Train Caboose Talks To Engineer By Radio Schenectady, Juno 16 —A brakeman, sitting in a caboose of u freight train, and an engineer in the cub of a locomotive a mile and u quarter away, talked to one another by radio here Wednesday, us easily us two persons would euriy on a conversation by ordinary telephone. The tests were made by engineers of the General Eletrlc Company. Transmission was on a short wave length and low power to avoid inlet Terence witli popular broadcast reception. Caboose and engine carried identical apparatus, a transmitter and a receiver. Both locomotive and caboose were equipped with a double antenna, one for transmitting ami the other lor receiving. Communication was established at either end of the train by tho simple act of removing a receiver end pressing a button. The pressure of tilebutton called the other station eiusInga howling sound in the reproducer or loud speaker at the receiving end. The test demonstrated that communication may be carried on with cunparative ease on u moving train. Radio communication, according to railroad men. will be most valuable particular-, ly on trains consisting of 70 to 125 cars. On such trains the engineer and conductor are separated by nearly one mile of cars and there is no positive means _of communication between them. Signals are usually exchanged by means of whistle or flare lights which often fail due to curvature of the tracks or weather conditions Should a defect develop ou these long trains the conductor must either send a brakeman over the top of the train or by operating the conductor valve stop the train, either of which would cause delay. The radio equipment lias been delivered to the New York Central rail"gWtn
