Rock Island Railroad Adopts Safety Plan for 1912
Rock Island Railroad officials announce adoption of a safety committee plan for 1912. Division, general superintendents and roadmasters join to study accident causes and reduce incidents. The company notes 1911 declines in fatalities and injuries versus 1910 and reports monthly reviews across all branches. Pencil sharpeners are dropped to cut annual pencil waste from about 825000 used, saving at least half the $6000 annual cost.
