28. The final division of Through and Joint Sectional Traffic Receipts has been agreed between the two Administrations to the end of December 1918.
29. There were 4 accidents of more or less serious nature during the year which are included in the following:-
Serious Minor Coupling failures 14 Engine 4 Coach derailments 4 Wagon 2 Deaths Injuries To Railway Employees 1* Passengers 3 Others 1 130. With regard to "Coupling Failures" these were attributable in most cases to Chinese Section couplings though all couplings on both Sections are much in need of renewal, but owing to the war it has been impossible to obtain the necessary materials.
The murder of the Railway employee was in no way due to the working of the line. The other death was that of a Chinese Section Pointsman who was run over in Chinese Territory by a British Section light engine on track over which we have running powers. The three persons who received minor injuries were 3rd class (male) passengers who jumped from the train whilst in motion.
31. The First Aid Classes, commenced in 1918, were continued throughout the year and eleven Station Masters, eight Booking Clerks and five Guards presented themselves for the annual examination.
Sixteen of these candidates obtained 70% or over of the total marks awarded which may be regarded as a most satisfactory result and one that reflects great credit on their instructor Traffic Inspector Winyard and his assistant, Station Master De Loberson.
* Watchman murdered while on duty.
