New train signal.

The G.T.R. has adopted a new signal on the main line between Toronto and Montréal, and which will be used all over that railway system as soon as arrangements can be completed. It is described in the Montréal Witness as follows: "The familiar signal, 'All aboard',. used for starting trains, is being done away with by the Grand Trunk Railway, and substituted by a small steam whistle alongside the engineer in the cab of the locomotive, which is connected with each passenger car by pipes somewhat similar to the airbrake pipes. It is not necessary now for a conductor of a train to signal the engineman by the hand method; he can blow the little whistle without going outside of the car. The whistle takes the place of the bell cord as well, as a means of drawing the attention of the driver to any breakage in his train."
