Bar Striking Rail When Accident Occurs Drives Plunger nto Air Line, Setting Brakes. A dW that. it fuifllla all the testa that will in future- be put upon it. will have the effect of preventing absolutely loss of life In railroad wrecks due to some fault of the rail or car, was tried out yesterday by the O. R. & N. Co. at the Albina car chops- While the test was only of a prelim inary nature, the railroad men and others -present proteased themselves well satis fled with what m accomplished. Coupled to a locomotive, an old mail car was driven towards an open switch at from six to eight miles an hour. Forced over the open switch, the air brakes were set by means of a plunger ' arranged to cut into the Westlnghouse air line, which stopped, tne locomotive and car within three feet. The engineer of the locomotive said he- did not shut off steam until he. had been unable to force the car an Inch, further. The device consists of a bar set under each truclc so that It reaches from rail to rail and a few inches above the rail. Springs requiring pressure of over 2000 pounds are at each end of the bar to pre vent accidental setting of the brakes. In the middle of the bar a plunger rises Into a value, which upon oocasion cuts Into the Westinghouse air line, releasing the air, which sets the bakes solid on the whole train. As soon as a truck leaves the rail, the bar Is jammed by the rail and the brakes set. ( Each truck works apart from every other and If but one wheel happened to be derailed, the brakes on the whole train would be set. Two teats were made yesterday and de spite the fact that but a light rail was used and the car had but a slight drop, the brakes were set rigid on both oc casions. General Superintendent Buckley, of the O. R. & N said last night It was the Intention of the road to experiment with the device under service conditions. The device is called the American au tomatic railroad brake and was invented by Karl Gerlinger; who was Injured in a freight wreck some years ago. A company has bought the rights and in tends either to manufacture the brake or sell the rights. It was said by rep resentatives of the company that a single car could bo equipped for JS; 300,000 cars could be equipped for $4.75 each. A more spectacular test will be made in a few days at Salem, when it is planned to send a train of 15 cars over an open switch or a broken rail, but one car of which will be equipped with the device. The following railroad men among a number of others were present: J. IMek eon, Spokane, Portland & Seattle Rail way; Frank R. Johnson, Canadian Pa cific" Railway; R. Harmed, O. K. & N W. W. Purdy.
