New Appliance for Blocking Trains on Warren and Bristol Branch. ‘The first use in this section of the train staff system of degpgtching and blocking trains was madeé on the New Haven road’'s electrified line between Warren and Bristol, says'.the Ansonia Sentinel. In its simplest form it is merely & requiremant that possession of a cer- tain staff or symbol is necessary to ‘confer the right to move a train in . either direction over the section of tarck for which that particular staff is designéd. Tt has been elaborated by the inventor of machines for the de- livery and reception of the staff, Orig- inally it was necessary, to make th acheme work, that trains should move alternately in opposite directions in or- der to return the staff to the othar end of the section, but the machines now permit a certain number of trains to move in one direction Lefore the re- turn movement is made. The staff machine has been in use in this country substantially in its present form about fifteen years. TO BAR WOMEN. Ney Bill Being Prepared to Them Out of Saloons.
