William Hunter Dammond was the first African American graduate of the Western University of Pennsylvania (which later became the University of Pittsburgh). Dammond graduated with honors from the university in 1893, with a degree in civil engineering. Dammond moved to Michigan to work as a bridge engineer, inventing an electrical signaling system for railway engineers to recognize the approach of another train and receiving a patent for it [source: U.S. Patent 747,949]. The system provided an audio and visual signal within the driver's cab, as opposed to the block signals previously used. It operated on alternating current, with a battery back-up. In 1906, he was issued another patent for a "safety system" for railway operation [source: U.S. Patent 823,513]. Dammond developed a "clear, caution, danger" signal mechanism that was patented in 1906. It was light-based with red, amber and green signals and was used on lines between New York City and Washington, DC.
