 To avoid the clangor, if not the certainty of frequent collisions, and the 
 consequent destruction of life and property, as \\c\\ as obstruction to all 
 transportation, it is absolutely necessary that the movements of rail road 
 trains should he under one undivided control. There considerations 
 make it imperative that all trains should be regulated in their movement* 
 And speed, only by their conductors and engineers, in accordance with 
 the Regulations and Time Tables of the Company. All the operations 
 of a road should be controlled by its Superintendent, or other authorized 
 officer; and all orders for transportation of every kind, and the move- 
 ment of every train, will be directed through him, when the exigencies 
 of the service demand a variation from the regular schedule. Disregard 
 of this rule will inevitably be attended with disastrous consequences.
