The Vass Pilot
Just one short trip over the Seaboard is needed now to show the vast improvement made by new electric signal system recently installed. Trains run by the signals and they make much better time for they do not have to wait for orders or for passing trains at distant points. They follow the signals and steadily go forward as long as the lights are in their favor and the job of passing or of keeping out of the way of other trains simplifies itself so that delays are almost wholly cut out. Then the degree of safety reached is of even greater importance. The road has spent around a million dollars to provide this system, but it is worth the money to the people who need the road. It transforms the Seaboard into a new creation.
