The Highest Railroad.
Pixies Peak lays claim to the highest
railroad in the world. 1t reaches IA
147 feet on the upper level, is nine miles
long, and the stecpest grade is twenty
five per cent. The road is constructed
on the Abt system and is standard
gauge. The engine weighs forty tons.
1t operates by cog wheels alone, there
being no adhesion on the drivers. The
cog wheels, two in number, are placed
directly over the center of the track in
such position that they gain the adj
vantage of the weight of the engine.
The rear of the locomotive is elevated
so that the boiler will be nearly level
when on the heaviest grades. The two
tanks on each side of the boiler carry
the water supply, there being no ten
der, and sufficient coal for one round
trip is carried in q coal box in the rear
Of the cab. AS the engine pushes the
train uphill, instead of pulling, as in
ordinary railroad trains, it has no use
for pilot or "cow-catcher," and re-
sembles in hardly Gay respect the or
binary locomotive.
