Molar United Press Correspondent ; Provo, Utah, Feb. 6 U.B The latest word in railroading Is the radio-equipped freight train the train that not only whistles at the crossings but also talks. The Denver & Rio Grande Western railroad is the first line in the nation to get beyond the experimental stage and put a radio-rigged freight into regular service. Engine 845 with micro phone and its gear-filled ca boose had their press debute last night between Salt Lake city and Provo.

Bartlett I neer Bill Smith and Assistant Division Superintendent Bill Horner, this correspondent tried out the equipment and found it worked with an almost unreal clarity. Actually, there are two radios on this fancy D tc R G W train One is "VHF" very high fre quency set used for communi cation between the cab and ca boose. The other is a low-frequency induction rig that broad casts from the caboose to the pole lines along the tracks for communication with the way side stations. Here's the way the radio worked in one case: Caboose to engine: "This is the conductor calling. A troop train is about 10 miles ahead of us, coming our way. Get ready to pull into the American Fork siding." Engine to caboose: "This is the engineer. Okay. Incidentally, the head-end brakeman says he can only see a few car-lengths back because of the snow. You d better keep a sharp lookout for hotboxes back there." No Walt Now Caboose to engine: "Okay, Will do." Without radio, the engineer would have had to wait until he saw the block signal at the sid ing before he knew he was to leave the main line. From the engine, we could talk with the caboose at all times. The VRF is frequency modulated so there, was no sta tic at all. United Press Corres pondent Mel Jennings, who went along in the caboose, said he could talk with Provo and Salt Lake City the division points easier than he could if he was in the office, using a city phone. D&RGW Radio Engineer Ed Musgrove, who's been experi menting with train radios for five years now, explains that radio can save "hours on freight runs. . Can't Sea) Signals 'Without radio, the crew has to depend strictly on hand and whistle signals," he said. 'Our line is mostly through the moun tains and you can't see the hand signals from end to end most of the time. "Formerly, when trouble such as a hot-box developed, the conductor had to stop the train, walk up to the cab some times a mile away and find out what was wrong. Then he d have PreawrTFog fTam'ecT for WrecR Tangle of wreckww n on tracks where Seaboard Railway's hi miry streamliner Silver Meteor crashed broad tide Into the New York-bound Sun Queen near Kollocs, 8.
