In February, 1903,-the subject-was under public discussion, as it has beensbefore and since, of a requirement by law, for safety's sake, that three men should be on each railway locomotive. President Truesdale, | of *the Lackawanna road, was among the negative speakers. He waa afraid the engineer and his new mate would-getsto Aalking -and ‘forget to (watch-out. He-said: -viasf The danger cf the focomotive ciigineer ” sropping “Realtor “becomtng-physl+ . tallygor-rentally ‘incapacitated is very remote. ‘A news item of current interest -recalls ‘the ‘former -subject-and*the | rentarks of the ‘Lackawanna ‘chief. ‘On Saturday it was printed that ‘Engineer Merritt Turner-on the ‘Erie | road had died suddenly in’his cab between Port Jervis and Deposit. His train, a fast express, was saved from disaster by the act of a watchful conductor, who applied the‘emergency brake when an-expected -slow- down and stop did not take place. A casual running over of the railway items of a little less than.four years Shows that Turner's case is the thirteenth within that time of an engineer dead or disabled on-post. It {s not likely that with-the thirteen the count is complete. “6 President Truesdale’s “very remote’ tee hardly fits the facts of peril on the rail. What is really distant seems to be the chance a turning State Legislatures from economic persuasions of the railroad companies so that the public may be relieved of the menace of the one- man-in-the-cab system. w Letters from the Jeol. ye put away at the end there the total for the The B.R.
