CNR To Spend $2 Million To Extend Traffic Sys’rem

MONC’I‘ON, — Canadian Na- tional Railways will spend an es- timated two million dollars in the Atlantic region during the next two years to extend its centraliz- ed traffic. control system west- ward, in was announced here by R.P. Puddester, regional chief engineer.

Another million will be requir- ed for construction of a third sec- tion of CTC installations west of Mont-ton. Mr. Puddester said he hopes for its authorization in time for completimi of this link by the end of 1961.

ASSEMBLE EQUIPMENT

One stage of the two-year CTC improvement project by the com- pany — from Napadogan to Ed- mundston in the Grand Falls sub- division —— is already under con- struction. It is scheduled to go into service early next year.

R.T. Sansom of Monoton. CNR lignals engineer for the Atlantic region, said equipment for this section of the development now is being assembled at Moncton. Some of it has been installed. Control centre for the Ntatpadogan Edmundston stretcth will be local- ed at Edmundston.

Mr. Puddester said the second section of the CNR’s plans calls for starting CTC work next ’year between Edmundston and Monk, Que” on the. Glendyne sub-divis- ion. Completion of this stretch is scheduled for 1960. The third phase of the westward CFC pro- gram is proposed for 1960-61, linking Pacific Junction on Mone— ton‘s outskirts to Nap-adogan, on the Chipman sub-division line.

Thus. Mr. Puddester noted, there then w'il lbe automatic sig- nal operation all the way through from the seaboard to Momn‘ea-l. Later. it is planned. there will be (urther CTC installations between Truro and Sydney and on the other main lines in the Atlantic Provinces.

It was designed by com- pany signals engineers in Mon- treal and will be installed by CNR experts.

Switches and signal lights are activated through remote control by an operator at a central con- trol panel. Trains connot receive conflicting orders, with CDC thus adding an extra measlure of safe- ty to railroad operations.

FIRST IN 1941

Canadian National first adopted CTC in 1941 to cope with war-time transportation demands as urgent as they were heavy. Initially. the then closely-guarded secrets of the system were ermiloyed along the 140mm length of nail be- tween Oatamount, 16 miles of Moncton, and Truro. In 1944 CTC

Unemployment Seen Number One Problem

TORONTO lCPI -— Liberal Leader Pearson says the "num- ber one problem" lacing Cr/adnl this winter is unemployment.

He told the Toronto Liberal Business Men's Club Tuesday the federal government‘s winter pro- gram has been made too late to be of maximum effect this winter.

“The 31.000.000.000 public works Program has made little or no impact on employment.”

The government‘s attack on jobs has been “nu-coordinated. unplanned —— actions which have resulted in large expenditures of money without corresponding re- sults in terms of employment," Mr. Pearson said.

Centralized traffic control be- tween Napadogan - Edunundston will bring an immediate result: The CNR will be able to achieve much greater capacity on the Grand Falls sub-division. where? there is constant heavy firefight; traffic in botth directions bevween‘ Montreal and all Nova Scotia. New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Prince Edward Island.
