FREIGHT LATEST
SAFETY FEATURE
New Device Permits Engl
neer and Crew To Keep
In Touch With Stations
By Murray M. 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.

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

sometimes a long ways off, to
report it. Now he can do every
thing without leaving the ca
boose. It's a lot safer this way,
too."

Choose your partner... Have a Coke
. . . the party gets off to a refreshing start
At the words Ho.vt a Coe the party swings into action. The fun is on.
Ice-cold Coca-Cola certainly breaks the ice and brings folks together for
the riottlfy pause that refralxcs. The life and sparkle of frosty Coke add
just the right gay touch to a gathering. Have plenty of Coca-Cola on
hand. It's a party the minute you uncap the bottles.
