As a rule we engineers behind the steering wheel work only on local
runs . . , oacK ana zorth from the office, stores, sad
the rest of ourregular stops. But every now and then,
and especially when vacation tune rolls around, we're
likely to want (o Change our run. And one fine day
there we are, out 6n the main line, at the throttle of
our "Overland Limited," if you please.
Railroads put only their best engineers on impor
tant runs like that '
What the railroad men mean by the best engineer,
is the one who has taken his train out and brought it
in, time after timexyear after year, without a thing
to regret. Now there's One thing about this engineer
that explains his good record better than anything
else. He believes in signs. All along the way there
are signals that tell him what to do, and he does
exactly what they say. When a semaphore says slow down, he slows down.
Whenever he gets the sign of a curve or grade, he adjusts his speed accord
ingly. Every red and green and amber light that
comes winking through the darkness means a definite
order that he'd never dream of ignoring. And when
a flare warns him of danger, he just stops until he
gets the go-ahead. Now, when we pull out of our
station and on to the main track, if we Ire good
engineers we'll take good heed of our signals as they
come flashing by "Curve," "Steep Hill," red light
"Stop." But along comes one that says "Intersection,"
and there doesn't happen to be any car passing on
that other road. Or one that says "School, go slow"
and there aren't any children about. Or "Slippery
when wet," but today the road is dry. And what's
the result? Why, a good many of us get to taking those
1 aimutl with ffrain of salt and. ofta ai whila with
i so much salt that if we aren't careful thoea warm may lose their meaning,
; It unit hard to imagine what would bassen if the railroad engineer got into
that habit. Ma wouum Vbe an engineer very long. No
matter how many times his warnings prove unneces
sary, he still goes on accepting them as gospel truth.
And people who drive thousands of miles every year
tell us they have trained themselves to the very same
habits as the engineers. We can Just as easily form
one habit as the 1 1
outer, ana 11 pay f
to form the habit of f.
ing on the advice
of our roadtittoH
signs.'
So it isnl enough
