1872 LOADED CARS IN TRAIN
Three Engines Pull and Two Push
More Than Mile Of Coal Cars to
Test New LackaWanna Cutoff.

Newton, N. J.-In making a
test of the length of a train which
it would be possible to haul over the
new cutoff of the Lackawanna rail-
way near here, a train OF 1872 loaded
coal cars was sent from Slateford
Junction to Portmoris.
The train was more than a mile
long with three locomotives pulling
and two pushing It. The strong pull
Of the engines at the pead of the line
was too much for some OF the coup
lings. They broke and caused = long
delay.
