ws,oht Of Train.

The heaviest Of all the cars in a
limited" train IL the dining car, which
ia ordinarily of a weight in excess Of
the other cars by 10000 or $4,000
pounds. Between the car construction
and the necessary kitchen equipment
and icebo1 contents, full sized stand
ard dining cars tips the scales at
100000 pounds when ready to make
its customary division run.
Therefore, on the principle that in
case Of collision a passenger is safer
in the strong, heavy coach in the CEN
ter Of vestibuled train, says the New
York Press, the dining car is a good
place to remain.
A 1s section sleeping car may
weigh from 10000 to 1z5, 900 pounds.
while the buffet library car of the
transcontinental type comes next IN
weight at 100000 pounds. The bag
gage car, weighing $4,000. may be the
lightest in a train. but the postal car
next to 1t weighs on an average 103,-
600 pounds; a reclining chair car is
full weight at $1,000 pounds, while an
ordinary passenger coach weighs 3d.
600 pounds.
With locomotive and tender weigh
ing 100000 pounds, one may estimate
by these figures the enormous weight

up the new Grand Central railroad
terminal in New York city. The build

In this modern tower two men, with

eight hundred trains q day over the
terminals thirty-two miles Of track.
In an emergency, the system under
their control safely could handle q
maximum Of two hundred incoming
and outgoing trains an hour. The

switches and signals Of the suburban
level are operated has 400 levers; the
second floor. where the express train
idispatchers work, has 362-orie man

American Magazine remarks. railroad
mileage in this country has increased
only ~ per cent, but the number of
locomotives has mounted up by 81 per
cent; the number of tons carried one
mile, So per cent. and the number Of
passengers carried one mile, SO per
cent.
In 1902 the heaviest locomotive on
ono Of the greatest railroad system
weighed 10000 pounds. Last winter
the same company had locomotives
which tipped the scales at 300.500
pounds, IN increase of 81 per cent.
But there are now being built loco
motives which will weigh $4,000
graphs have lately been taken which
show an ordinary switching engine
safely ensconced, with room to spare
in the fire box Of one of them. Per
haps you will say these are extreme
cases. But, in general. locomotives
have increased in weight 80 per cent.
in Is or 20 years. and in a great
number of cases the increase has far
exceeded that figure. Cars. too, have
grown as much.
But assume for moment that the
weight on each wheel is no greater
than it used to be. because there are
more wheels: the track is battered
Just so much longer; 1t has just so
much less chance to recuperate. Put
ten drivers. II you will, on each side
Of the huge engine. OF course the
weight Is distributed over great
length, say 1925 feet. But the track is
battered for . longer period of time.
But there has been no decrease even
in wheels loads. On the contrary.
there has been q slow increase in
wheel loads in addition to the ire
mendous increase in the number Of
such loads. You may put 20 drivers
on a great machine. but when the ma
chine weighs 900 900 or 700, 900 pounds.
you stiIl have . weight per driver far
in excess Of those in existence some
years ago.
The increase in locomotives has
taken place IN both freight and pas
senger service. On one railway the
increase from the heaviest freight To-
comotives in 1902 to 1911 was 81 per
cent; in passenger engines it was IS
per cent In 1911 the engines which
carried the 1s.hour flyers between
New York and Chicago weighed TO-
900 pounds more than even the heavi-
est freight locomotives in 1902, and
10000 pounds more than the heaviest
passenger locomotives in 1901. Look
at the mounting strain from still an
other point of view. In the last ten
years the average freight train load
has increased at least 30 per cent,
and perhaps 40 per cent. There has
also been a fairly steady increase in
the number Of loads passing over each
line. Density Of trafflc has enormous
" increased. so that with roadway
little heavier than it was at the time
when far lighter rolling stock was
used. there is continually greater
volume of trahic being carried over
the rails in given period OF time.
Upon the tracks fall more blows than
formerly, and harder ones at that.

Fast Time on Early Lines.

VaSS sn0 VII @ai'y -bSos
Some high speeds were attained by
the early English railroad trains. The
illustrated London News of August 10,
1874, records that four days previously
1.-The journey from Slough to Padding
ton was accomplished in less time than
the distance had ever been traversed.
The eighteen miles and a quarter only
occupied fifteen minutes and ten Sec
onds." So early as 1841 It was an
nounced that Brunei, for a wager of
SIS, 900 was about to run a train from
Bristol to London within two hours.
This feat does not appear to have been
accomplished. Five years later. how
ever, between Exeter and Starcross,
Brunei accomplished the journey at a
speed of 70 miles an hour.
