G.T.R. train rules.

The new train rules for the G.T.R. based on the standard code of the American Railway Association, which were approved of by the Government last year, & in which the men have been instructed & examined for some time past, went into effect on the lines of the system west of the Detroit & St. Clair Rivers on July 10, & will very soon be put in force on the whole of the rest of the system. In a recent interview General Superintendent McGuigan said: It will only be a short time now when we will have the new rules in operation. The men seem to understand them pretty well now. They are to-day in force on the western district of the G.T., that is the Chicago & G.T. line, as it is known. While in Canada we have not put the rules into effect, you can easily see that it is necessary to have the one system of train-running over the entire line of the G.T. These rules are the ones adopted by the American Railway Association representing the principal roads in the U.S. There are 180,000 miles of railway in the U.S., & roads representing 162,000 miles have adopted these rules. At sea, ocean steamships, no matter what country they hail from, have the same rule of the road, & this is the system that should obtain on the railways. There is no question that the new rules will, within a few weeks, be enforced all over the G.T. system.
