Railway and locomotive engineering : a practical journal of railway motive power and rolling stock . eight trains weighing tonsare made up of fifty loaded steel ore carsand will be handled against a rulinggrade of per cent, by two of the loco-motives coupled together and operatedas a unit.

Each truck is built up of heavysteel castings. The side frames are of atruss pattern with heavy top and bottommembers and pedestal tie bars. An engineers compartment is providedat either end. The central section con-tains the control apparatus with all partsand circuits carrying 2,400 volts thor-oughly protected from accidental contact. The motors, four in number, are theG.

By the use of 2,400 volts un-usual economies in initial expenditureswere possible as the high voltage de-creases the number of sub-stations andamount of copper wire several times be-low that required for 600 volts. The section of the road that has beenequipped lies between Butte and Ana-conda, Mont. It comprises 30 miles ofmain line single track and numerous sid-ings, yards and smelter tracks, aggre-gating a total of about 90 miles on asingle track basis. The haulage of cop-per ore from the Butte mines to the haul the 3,400-ton trains at a maximumspeed of IS m. p. h. against the rulinggrade and at 21 m. p. h. on level tangenttrack. The passenger locomotives areof the same design as the freight locomo-tives except they are geared for a
