TELLS POSITION OF SWITCH

Invention That Indicates to Train Engineer Just What Track Is Open for His Use. More particularly this invention relates to a means for indicating to the train engineer the position of the several switches to which he is approaching, says the Scientific American. It is of advantage, in approaching a terminal, to know just what track of the terminal the engineer is coming

into and be able-to tell ahead of time just what curves and switches he Is supposed to take. This invention indicates to the operator, in entering the yard or the limits of the terminal, just what track is open to him.
