The Defective System of Railway Signals: The Chief Source of Accidents at Drawbridges and Switches is a book written by Franklin Eliot Felton in 1856.

He provides detailed examples of accidents that have occurred due to the signaling system's flaws and suggests improvements that could be made to prevent future accidents. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of railway transportation and the development of signaling systems.
