Coroner; - Was Mr Weir driving the car? A; - Yes.
Mr Beck - You are a trainman with sixteen years experience?
A; - Yes.
Q; - It is not uncommon, color blindness? A; - No.
Q; - As a railway man when absolute safety is concerned would you place reliance on a coloured light as a protection to the public?
A; - Yes, I do.
Q; - Can you suggest a safety?
A; - Oil Lamps have given good service on the Great Northern, and the C.P.R. and on any road I have been one, and about the only lamps that have been never known to fail I do say.
Q; - How about the coal oil? A; - All right.
Q; - How about the red shining over the green, is that any improvement?
A; - It would do no harm.
Q; - Still you think in color blindness relying on a colored light it would be ample protection?
A; - A man who is color blind should not be running a car. There should be an examination. The C.P.R. would not take on any person who is, nor any other road.
Q; - You consider that sufficient protection to that bridge?
A; - Yes.
Q; - in reference to trainmen? A; - Yes.
Q; - Do you know what the highball is?
A; - Yes.
Q; - Did you see the witness Dodson describe the way he used the lantern?
A; - Yes.
Q; - Was that the highball sign?
A; - Yes.
Q; - Would that highball sign signify "all right, all clear"?
A; - Yes.
Juror: - Did you have any side curtains?
A; - No.
Q; - How many in the car?
A; - Us.
