The town ofManila is near the crest of the Alle-gheny Mountains, and the total rise inaltitude is ft. This distance ismade up of an average gradient of .4per cent, between Cumberland andHyndman, a distance of miles, andof per cent, between Hyndman andManila, a distance of miles. Themaximum work done in this distance,consists of miles run on a percent, grade with 8 degs. reversecurvature between Roddy and Manila,and a mile run on a per cent,grade. These engines are also haulingpassenger trains consisting of 11 carsweighing about 500 tons.
