''EvERY freight car, when it leaves the
PENNSYLVANIA shops now, is equipped with
the Janney automatic coupler said rail
roader Yesterday. at is an expensive
coupler, and one objection to it is that
when they are in use the freight trains
must be made shorter. The reason OF this
is that the train does not have so much

has several feet of slack, and by backing
the engineer can start his train on pretty
stiff grade He moves in reality but one
car at time that way, you see."
