Passengersof street railway cars of twenty or eventen years ago used to be annoyed contin-ually by miserably lighted and ventilated A Street Car Replacer. We illustrate in this connection a verysimple device* that has been introduced forthe purpose of replacing street cars thathave left the track and to derail themwhere it becomes necessary to haul themoff the track. The mechanism is shownin perspective in section and in plan in ourengraving.
