TUNNELS II MENACE i
TO CREWS OF TRAINS
J
I WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.—If you
are inconvenienced by smoke and
| heat entering your railway car the
next time you go through a tunnel,
think of the men in the engine cab
and be happy. For, says the Bureau
of Mines, the heat to which trainmen
are subjected not only ranges as high
as 136 degrees but the smoke and
moisture laden atmosphere is filled
with deadly carbon monoxide gas.
The bureau recently conducted a
series of tests in railroad tunnels in
connection with investigation into ac- J
cident causes. Out of 40 tunnel trips j
whose duration ranged from 4^ to
20 minutes it was found that the hot
exhaust gasses from the engine were j
a source of great danger.
Exhaustion of train crews due To
trips through these tunnels was said
undoubtedly to be the cause of many j
accidents. Results of tests over pe
riods of ten minutes in engine cabs
showed that the conditions there
would bring exhaustion or suffocation
in 20 minutes, in case an engine be
came stalled.
While the bureau has experimented
with gas masks tor the use of cab
crews and has perfected a small res
pirator for quick use in going through i
tunnels, it has been found the most
satisfactory method of overcoming
the fumes is by supplying fresh air to
j train crews from the air brake system
a supply of which is led to each man
thru , a small rubber tube with an or
dinary funnel on the end, which is
held close to the face.
