MYSTERY OF LOCOMOTIVE
WHISTLES IS EXPLAINED
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 30.—The mys
teries of the language of railroad
| engines, as spoken through the en
gineer’s whistle, have been revealed
by the Southern Pacific company in
an announcement for the benefit of
the general public. The significance
of the engineer’s performance on his
whistle is explined as follows:
Four blasts, two of medium length
| and two short, are a warning that
a locomotive is approaching a grade
crossing.
A succession of short blasts tells
trespassers to get off the track.
One long blast followed by three
short ones sends the rear flagman
back to protect aginst a .following
train.
Four or five blasts of medium dur
ation recall the flagman.
Four short whistles is the engi
neer’s way of asking for train order
signal.
Two short whistles mean “Thank
you” or “I get you.”
One whistle of medium duration j
followed by two short blasts calls j
attention to signals displayed for a
following section.
One long blast is given when
train is approaching a station, draw'
bridge, or junction.
Tw'o short blasts given three times
are a signal to the trainmen that
the airbrakes are sticking.
One engineer was always known to
blast two long and two short when
coming into the station on the other
end of the line. When asked, howr
come? he said that his girl knew'
who it was that was coming in. In
