Seven Locomotives Pull Test Train to
Continental Divide

Air-brake tests recently made with
heavily loaded trains Oh the steep
grades between Corona and Denver
on the Denver and Salt Lake Rail-
road. may prove important in the de-
velopment of the Yampa coal fields in
Routt County, according to an illus
trated article in the March Popular
Mechanics Magazine.
For demonstration Iurposes on
these grades. n train OF "a cars and
weighing 2,431 tons was used. The
cars were equipped with a special
automatic straight air brake. Tie
test was made to determine whether
a train equal in length to the number
OF empty cars that one engine could
HAUL back could he taken down the
grade. The train pulled cast out of
Tabcrnash and up the foot of the
four-per-cent ascending grade. being
pulled by three Mallets and two Con-
solidations. At the foot Of the heavi-
er grade, two more Mallets were
hooked on. Before leaving Corona
for the descent of the eastern slope
and the run to Denver, all of the en-
glneS were removed but one, leaving
the train to be handled by a single
Consolidation locomotive. The 12.5
miles of the four-per- grade were
covered in 1 hour 40 minutes. or
the average running rate Of rs miles

Officials who witnessed the demon
stration declared that. with modern

grade could be doubled with safety.

of thirteen was reduced to twelve by

children are fed at the soup kitch-

children receive relief cards good for

kitchens is to be extended next

Farmers and merchants in the
valley have contributed largely in
food to the relief committee. Some
merchants also have sold the COM
