which is near the North Mountain sta
ton. At Myers Hole the line was
changed, taking out some very objec-
tionable curvature, and the roadbed
raised nearly fifteen feet. eliminating
two grades Of AZ feet per miles which
came together at Myers Hole, and sub
Etituting therefor an almost level
track. This point on the road has
always been a dangerous one and
many freight wrecks have occurred
there. Apart from doing away with
the dangerous feature of two sharp
down grades coming together, as was
the case in this instance, the saving in
operation of the road by the change
Will be very large, as it enables the
tons per train TO be greatly increased
and reduces the liability to accident TO
the minimum.
At Tablers the road bed has been
lowered about thirteen feet, anG the
same at Tabbs, besides taking out OBJ
1ectionable curvature and reducing the
rate of grades at these points from ~
feet per mile to ten feet per mile. thus
increasing the cars that can be hauled
per train. Though these improve
ments have cost quite a sum of money,
the expenditure is fully justified by
the great saving in operation.
