The Defective System of Railway Signals: The Chief Source of Accidents at Drawbridges and Switches is a book written by Franklin Eliot Felton in 1856. The book addresses the issue of railway accidents that occur at drawbridges and switches due to a flawed signaling system. Felton argues that the signaling system used in railway transportation is inadequate and outdated, and that it is the primary cause of accidents. He provides detailed examples of accidents that have occurred due to the signaling system’s flaws and suggests improvements that could be made to prevent future accidents. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of railway transportation and the development of signaling systems. It sheds light on the early challenges faced by the railway industry and the steps taken to improve safety and efficiency.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
