THE DEAHLY NALUIU MOUN TAIN Hit A HE. Wf. JHT ^j KE &\l ' Work ?t rutting in the Protec tion Switches Hegun. Special to The State. Saluda, N. vJ., Aug. 27.?Worl has been begun on the "fiafetj tU(9BL^;4^t >1 ? ? Mftvucuer, ine pian aevisea dj the engineers of the Youthen railway, in order to render tin ' grade on Saluda mountain lea hazardous. The grade,well knowi to patrons of the numerous sum mer resorts along the liue fron Asheville to Spartanburg, is on< of the finest pieces of construe tion on the Southern's pysteni Nevertheless, >t is very danger ous, as has been ^roved by tin casualties occurred upoi It. the wrecks of the presen summer and the recent catastro phe in which Engineer Averil and Firomanllair lost their lives have convinced the heads of tin system that something must bi done to lessen the danger to thi human freight that is daily car ried over the line. The plan that has been dovisei was fully described in The Stab some days ago. Running off fron the main line, between Afelrosi ! I B3BT and Saluda, will he placed tvn spur tracks running up incline so steep that the impetus of i runaway train will be gradually K7*" ^^check^d. Watchmen will be sta frouefi at these switches nigh and day and the switch will b< cut in on the main line at al mm times. The engineer ot every trail going down the mountain iiiub >^giye the watchman a signal tlia his train is under full control Otherwise the switchman wil ff not let the train continue on it course but it will be vent on th> sidetrack. Two spur tracks will be put in for the reason that a train afte passing the first may gain sulli cient headway to be practical!; a runaway and will then be sen in on the second spur. The hrst spur will be locater f about a nnle and a half from Sa ludft, not a quarter of a mile fron Big Out, whose walla tower 10< feet above the track. Thoswitcl will be placed at the end of i section of the track which rum lor a few hundred feet practi cally in a straight line, thus al lowing the train if necessary t< leave it on an easy angle. Fron the switch the spur will extern 1,000 feet into a cut dug tbrougl ^ .jts high sand hill with little rod in it. Starting at a percontagi of 2 feet in 100, the grade wi! gradually become steeper unti at its further end the percent agi will be 12 feet in 100. "If the grade were any stoepe; the pilot of the engine would d.j into the ties," said a young con struction engineer this afternoon The work of grading is beinj done by !I. L. Coe, a contractoi of Asheville and late the road master of thip divisi in.
