the cars run on standard rails COM

Hilary track rails do not extend con-
tinuously throughout the length OF tho
railroad track. but are located only M

with raised portions adjacent 20 the

the apered ends OF the roof rails will
run under tho broad-iacod upper
wheels OF the saddle car, and the sad
ale car Will be- lifted on the auxiliary
track rails and carried away with the
