RAILWAY ACCIDENTS.
Gangways for the use of railway passengers passing from car to car have been in use in the Dominion for about twelve years. During that period over 93 million passengers have baen carried by the railways. Out of this number, states the Minister for Railways, only one fatfcl accident has occurred to passengers using the gangways. The matter of providing an additional safeguard to the gangways is receiving the attention of the Government at the present moment, but even where gates are provided to the car platform it is a matter of difficulty to keeD them shut owing to the thoughtlessness of passengers who, in many cases, open them after the trains are in motion, and leave them so. _____
