Lackawanna Plans Automatic Block Signal System
The Lackawanna railroad will soon end telegraphers on its system and use automatic block signals with enhanced telephone facilities from Hoboken to Buffalo. Dispatchers will be unfamiliar, with a unified wire approach enabling quick switches between telegraph and telephone use and a new switchboard. General Superintendent Clark confirmed the company’s move toward simultaneous telegraph telephone use and circuit reconfiguration. Also noted is a testimonial for Dr King’s New Life Pills as a remedy for biliousness and constipation, sold at Mayo’s Pharmacy in West Pittston.
