Just why many seeminbly intelligent drivers of automobiles
are continually attempting suicide and manslaughter, is beyond
understanding. Their actions any place but in an automobile
would in most cases place them under mental observation or in
jail.
W. M. Jeffers, president of the Union Pacific Railroad, an
nounced on January 19, that from January 1 to thait date, there
had been 13 cases where drivers had carelessly run into the side
of trains at crossings, or stalled their cars on railroad tracks of
the Union Pacific, at widely separated locations in seven states.
A stalled automobile on a public highway crossing derailed a
fast mail and express train, killing the engineer and fireman.
Because of more dangerous conditions in winter, drivers
should be extra cautious. Sanity says stop, look and listen at
railroad crossings.
The figures given by Mr. Jeffere are startling and a timely
warning to police and highway patrol officers to be on the look
out for potential killers at railroad crossings.
