ORDER PLACED FOR 100 ALL
STEEL GONDOLAS TO OPERATE
BETwEEN MINES AND LAM
BERTss POINT.

ROANOKE. VA. Dec. S.--The Nor
folk and Western Railway company
has ordered the construction at Its
Roanoke. Va, shops OF $50 all-steel
xondola cars of 10 tons capacity
each. The firs. of this extra large
type OF coal-carrying car was built
BY the Norfolk and Western railway
some months ago as an experiment
1t IL said that the advantage Of
these large cars Is that they enable
locomotives to haul shorter trains, al
though the coal tonnage is the same
u when more cars OF less individual
capacity are used. The trains are
thus easier handled.
These new cars. each Of which has
two six-wheeled trucks, will be placed
In service between the mines on the
Norfolk and Western railway and
udewater at I4ambert's Point Va. and
will be employed mainly in connec-
ton with shipments to be handled
over the roads new pier there. which
Is now fully under construction.
