Excerpt from Rights of Trains on Single Track: A Complete Examination for Employes on the Standard Code and Other Recommended Train Rules From the viewpoint of the person unacquainted with railroad transportation the conductor, engineman or train dispatcher must necessarily be endowed with superhuman strength, nerve and sagacity. Certainly conductors and enginemen are required to be familiar with the handling of property entrusted to them, and must not only fully understand the rules governing them, but must also be conversant with the theory of the rights of trains under such rules.
