WHAT is called the "staff” system in railway signalling brought about a curious muddle in New South Wales lately. The train from

Melbourne, being crowded, was split into two divisions at Albury, and the fint division left that place after midnight. On arriving at Gere- gery the engine slowed down, so that the staff could be handed to the officials there. The staff, however, when thrown out, struck something on the platform and rebounded on to the train and was carried on, and this caused a 'delay to the we to-day received a alce simple of cham-second division of the train of three and a half pagne.
