This will be the heaviest steam rail-
way passenger service which has ever
been handled by electric locomotives.
With ore'1 these locomotives trains
OF ten or more cars will be hauled at
express speed OF 60 to 10 miles per hour,
and the design and method of control
are such that two or more locomotives
can be coupled together and operated
by single engineer from the leading
cab, so that the size of the train that
may be under the control of one en-
