During the previous twelve months up to that date 326 raiflroads in this coun- try escaped a single fatality to a passenger in a train accident. This report was given out yesterday by the bureau of railroad news and sta- tistics, in Chicago, to which nearly all the roads of the natifon present data. Nothing of the kind has ever been heard of before, either in the United BStates or in any nation abroad. The roads which reported operate 161,948 | miles of line. The entire mileage of ralilroads in the United States in some- | what over and above the 250,000 mile point. The total record of fatalities to passengsrs in accidents on the com- bined rallroads of the United States | shows 196 killed. In comparison, all the raflroads of REurope, operating 100,000 miles of track less than Amer- ican roads, killed 700 passengers in the same fiscal year. These figures are interesting as showing to what end the “Safety First’” campaign might | have been taken had not a lapse of | vigilance been allowed to creep in. At the present rate the fiscal year of 1916 will have no chance of favorable comparison with the fiscal year of | 1915, when all returns are presented | to the bureau of railroad statistics.
