ICOLL’S PATENT SAFETY SWITCH FOR
Railroad Turnouts. This invention for some time
in successful operation on one of the principal rail-
roads in the country, effectually prevents engines and
their trains from running oil" the track at a_ switch, loft
wrong by accident or design. It acts independently
of the main track rails; being laid, down or removed
without cuttingor displacing them. « ‘
It is never touched by passing trains, except
in use,prevcnting their running off the track
simple in its construction and operation, requiring on-
ly two castings and two rails; the latter, even if much
worn or used, not vobjectionable. A ’ '
Working models of the Safety Switch may be seen
at Messrs. Daveifipmt, Bridges do Kirk’s Cambridge
P_ort, Mass, and at the ofliec of the Railroad Journal,
