TAKE WATER
WHILE RUNNING
LAKE SHORE TRAINS WILL BE
EQUIPPED WITH NEW DEVICE
WHICH ENABLES ENGINES
TO TAKE WATER ON THE RUN

NEW YORK, Dec. 25.--The Lake
Shore railroad has finished spending
more than $1,0OO,O00 this year to
enable all it's trains to take water
while running.
The line is the first in the country
to be entirely equipped this way
Henceforth neither freight nor pas
senger trains will need to stop or
slow down for water. On a few
other roads such appliances only a
few passenger trains are provided
for.
This extensive Improvement by
the Lake Shore marks the passing
of the oldfashioned water tanks. 1t is
believed that all other large rail-
road systems will adopt similar reg
ulations in order to save time and
wear and tear on equipment.
The Vanderbilt line now has II
places between Chicago and Buffalo
at which water supply is scooped UP
by passenger trains going 40 to IS
miles an hour and by freights going
Is to IS miles an hour.
Every so miles troughs have
been built. They are 1000 feet long.
At each place of this kind the road
has spent over 100000. Besides,
al engines have had to be adjusted
to the transition.
The methods employed to facili-
tate trains in this way might always
escape the notice of the traveller or
the shipping public, so little of the
