Modern Mechanics. NOT FOR THE PEDESTRIAN Warning to Keep Off the Railroad Tracks is One That Should Be Kept in Mind. Only a few years ago railroad tracks in all parts of the country were used as convenient highways for pede. trians as short cuts to "the depot," the mill, the store or the homes of relatives and friends. That the tracks were not even then used in safety hundreds of tragedies have testified, but the danger today has increased tenfold. It is now a wise man or woman who fights shy of the use of the railroad in any other capacity than its original one. Double and quadruple tracks more frequent and swift trains whose speed makes it un. safe even to stand by the side of the tracks when they go by have steadily intensified danger. Grade crossings have been replaced by bridges, ties have been raised from the ground and filled between with ballast of rough crushed stone, everything possible has been done to discourage walking on the tracks and still the killing at trespassers on the rail are annualll far in excess of the number killed is train accidents. Now comes a climax of danger whose warning must be heeded s. there will be a serious increase d: accidents. The electrified railroad, the authorities give warning, is good place to keep away from. cannot be safe for pedestrians. I rent three times strong enough kill a man passe constantly over .
