caused through Inattention to proper couplings. VVhon
accidents happen from trains breaking looco, Conductors
will be blamed.
1. Keep'a Brakeman always on tlio hind car
with red flag by day and lod lamp and fog sig-

by broken running gear, and when fresh marks

The signal to start is given by stretching the
arm and hand at right angles to the body, or
by swinging the lamp overhead.
To stop^ by stretching both arms at right
angles to the body, or by waving anything
across the track.
To 7nov>e cautioitsly^ by moving slowly the

the FROIST of an ENGINE or Train, and a
Red Hag and additional lamp fully disjilayed

order to return must be obtained by Engineer
from Ti'ain Despatcher at Station froni which
