Trains meet trains exactly upon the second at sidings, and arrivals and departures are much more . perfect an in former years as is demonstrat ed by the recent report of the general superintendent of the nor hern district to the effect that for the week ending June 10, 1911, out of 4,164 suburban trains arriving at the Oakland pier and Alameda mole of the company, only itwo failed to connect with the ferry boats. . . ; ' , ; ;. for station. The arrangement is most simple. The signal supervisor of the coast devlsion has made the statement that a saving of 75 per cent in the cost of lighting is made at the sta tions where the device is In operation. The invention, which was approved by T. Ahern, superintendent of the coast division, is worked entirely by means of the block signal system, which sys tem Is in operation throughout the Harriman lines. ' It has been found so successful at six stations on the coast division that it will soon be adopted at other points along he line. With this automatic device the lights at a station are burn ing only when a train is approaching, j standing at the station or departing therefrom. The length of control of the lights depends entirely upon the distance between .he blocks at the station.- " .' :-: .. . k The system is flexible because If the first block Is too close to the station it can" be carried further on to the next block. More lights can be used with this device end at a less cost fcan when there were fewer lights, the cost being governed, of course, by the number of trains and the ttlme the trains consume while In the blocks.
