It is so close that I call it “ My Farewell Car." 1 shall let
it stand as my topmost achievement.
The future is bound to bring some minor changes fold-
erols and fashions. But in nil the essentials this car strikes
my limit. Embodied in it are the final results of my twenty-
five years of experience.
There are improvements made in this car over the best of
my previous creations.
One can not make an engine which is materially better.
Better workmanship is out of the question. Better materials
are simply unthinkable. More of simplicity, durability and
economy can hardly be conceived.

More than seventy per cent of the
main line m ileage of the Southern
Pacific is protected by block signals.
A pproxim ately 100 miles are protected
by the manual block signal system ,
the rem ainder being under the protec
tion of the autom atic system . Less
than th ree per cent of the Southern
Pacific lines were equipped w ith block
signals in 1902. In 1903 this percent
age had climbed to a little more than
six per cent. From th a t y ear up to
the present tim e these safety devices
have been steadily installed until to
day these autom atic blocks extend
over nearly three-q u arters of the en tire

feels th a t his train cannot collide with
