Ellie Em Published by Canadian newspaper ownersqu street Barrie cam more soon HONDAY DEC 14 I959 Railways Concerned Over Ta ruc Canadas railways are becoming in creasineg concerned at the growing number of accidents at grade crossings between railways and tank truckscarry ing flammable liquids During the period 195659 there were 22 such accidents resulting inlS deaths 41 injuries and more than $500000 in property damage Four of these accidents occurred as re cently as October 1959tbemost serious of which was at Parkland Alberta when tank truck in broad daylight and under conditions of unlimited visibility ran into the side of one of two rail diesel pas senger cars killing six persons injuring 18 and destroying one of the tryo diesel units The question is what can be done to control the repetition of this type of accident with its needless waste of lives and property The Owen Sound Sun Iimes asks Increased protection at grade crossing ls suggested by some as possible solu tion The railways experience clearly indicates that adequately protected crossings is no assurance that this type of accident will be prevented Six of the 22 accidents involved trucks running Home Owner

trucks such as road grad ers gravel trucks etc at crossings which woreprotected with wigwags flashing lights and bells Even more significant in two case the crossings were prom ed by automatic gates Requirement by law that truckstrans porting flammable liquids some full stop before crossing railway tracks to gether with rigid enforcementvof the law is probably the most effective way of eliminating this type of accident Some trucks those transporting explo xnrroam sives are required to do so at present Aill provinces with the exception of Ontario require passenger buses to come to full stop before proceeding over railway crossing This elementary precaution should be made applicable to trucks as well particularly those mov ing dangerous or potentially dangerous commodities The majority of provinces at present have such legislation but its enforcement measured against the in crease in this type of accident would ap pear to be inadequate Needs Expert Fire department inspectors on their rounds frequently encounter overfused and overloaded electrical circuits The danger from inproperly installed elec trical wiring or overloaded circuits is that firetfrom this cause
