<br />Dear Madam:
<br />. ! Referring to your letter of April 17, 1950 regarding the failure of our crews to pro-
<br />perly handle the flashing light signals at Indiana Avenue, South Bend, Indiana.
<br />We wish to advise that this matter has been handled with the crew involved to prevent
<br />a recurrence. Our representative, Mr. Ray Smith, called on Mr. Frederick K. Baer, a mem-
<br />ber of the Department of Public Works and Safety, and explained to him in person how this
<br />dereliction on the part of our crew was the result of several new men working on the job,
<br />and that these men have been handled so there will not be a recurrence.
<br />We appreciate your cooperation in calling this incident to our attention.
<br />jVery truly yours,
<br />II THE PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD
