The first of August shw Mh. Insi of the LMven l1ais and all of the Southern Pacific passenger train bare now immiiij; with lamp murker in place ol the Hags. Green fhijrs have hecn ned for many years on the rear of trains to designate to trans in the opposite di rection and to the engineer of the train displaying the flag markers, that the train was intact. This was nec essary in the days when all of the cans in trains were not equippou wui automatic aar brakes. bometime, l.n llm link and nin coiinl'mes were in use, a pui would break and a er would be left behind. There was no way for the engineer to tell whether or not he bad nil of his cars with him unless he could look out of his cab and see tho green flag waving from the last coach. All or the cars ot the Southern Pacific comphny are now equipped with the automatic air brakes, which, ir a car should become detached, htops the train nntomatical- The lamps that are being used as markers in place of tho green flag suffice during the day as well as at night. During the passage of a train through a tunnel, miowbIuhIs' or dur ing foggy weather, they can be eas ily lighted, but for the major portion of the daytime trips they remain un limited. They can be distinguished hi the engineer with e.o l2il hare already been found a great improve ment over the old flag system. Some few roads in the east have discon tinued the use of green flags as markers on some of their suburban lines, but the Southern Pacific com pany is the first road to do so ovei its entire system.
