To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
What I advise under such circumstances is this, — place another signal arm with lamp upon the post, about the same height as the driver on his engine, and let them work together. Engine-drivers would thus be enabled to see how the signals stood under any circumstances, even in cases where the lights are blown out by the wind. I would observe that all extra arms, locking bolts and bars, add additional labours to the signalman's already responsible duties ; but never mind that ; shorten his hours..., increase his pay, and give him all the help possible in the busy seasons of the year, and he will willingly submit to any additional labour, so long as it is for the protection of the travelling public, for the safer railway travelling is made the better he is himself protected. Accidents caused through broken Springs, Axles, , AND Tires. It is an undoubted fact that many accidents are occasioned by the breaking of springs, axles, and tires of vehicles. These may be traced to the following causes — namely, violent shunting, bad joints in the rails, the great length and weight of trains, and fast travelling.
