Of years past was employed as book

has opened an Office in the Garrett Ma

Engines of the Mallet type are now
hauling trains of so cars from Fair
mont through Oakland to Keyser,
distance of over 100 miles. The grad
ual improvement by the Baltimore
and Ohio Company of the tracks and
bridges between these terminal points
has made it possible for trains hauled
by engines of this type to be taken
the entire distance without changing
engines or crews. Formerly loaded
coal cars were hauled into Grafton in
trains of so cars each, pulled by two
drag engines, the cars then assembled

let's. Now a single Mallet can haul
so loaded cars direct from Fairmont
to Grafton, with the usual helpers
on the Newburg grade from Hardman
to Tunnelton and on the Cranberry
grade from M. & K. Junction to Terra
Alta. At Mountain Lake Park these
trains get third helper up to Alta
mont There is also other economies
resulting in the elimination of switch
ing and making up of trains and
changing engines and crews at Graf
ton.
