RAILROAD ACCIDENTS. * oe nie They Happen Sometimes Because Men Are Unable to Realize Danger, ‘Yes, it's really funny at times,’’ re- marked the local railroad man, ‘‘how things will happen. Men lose their lives every day because they become careless or anable to realize the danger of theif occu- patior. A good many years ago I was sonductor of a freight train, and one night we ran to a meeting poiuton the main line, with orders to await a train which was running in. The latter was a bit late, end my train was resting quietly on the main line, it having the right of way. The in freight, by the common laws of rail- roading and according to orders, should have heaved in sight, as the sailors say, and then slowed down and ggne on to the siding, so that my train could proceed on its way up the road. ‘“‘IT was seated in the cab of the engine when the headlight of No, —— flashed in sight some two miles off. It grew in size, and the train came on without any appar- ent reduction in its speed. I thought it was coming too near and said so to the engineer. No. —— kept up its lick, and I suddenly realized that if it did not stop, and tleat quickly, there would be trouble. AsI thought of this Linvoluntarily grasped the reversing lever and threw it back. The other train came dashing along, and then I saw that if we remained where we were my train would get hurt, so I pulled back the throttle and the train began bumping backward, but not fast enough to escape, and calling to the engineer and fireman I reversed the lever again to check her back motion and leaped for the ground. While I jumped, the trains came together, and there was a vast deal of damage done to the front end of the locomotives. When the fuss was over, I climbed into the cab of the other engine and found it eibpty. Fearing that the men might be hurt, I grasped a lantern and started out to hunt them up. I had not gone more than 60 feet when I came across a figure lying alongside of the ties. It was the engineer. ‘Are you hurt?’ I asked, and he replied in a sleepy voice that he was not. He had tumbled out of his cab. Well, to makea long story short, it turned out that both engineer and fireman had been tired out, had gone to sleep, forgot all about orders and meeting points and were asleep to within a minute or two before the crash took place, and then, sleepily realizing what was going to happen, had rolled from their seats and alighted on the soft earth of the embankment.’’—New Orleans Limes-Democrat.
