The tablealso shows the decrease in the average length of haul and thedecrease in total ton miles. It is not expected that every railroad company in workingout a coal distribution would find that there could be a savingof over 12 per cent, made by distributing the coal according tothe methods herein outlined, but there is no doubt but what con-siderable saving is to be effected on most systems. It is not expected that any railroad can at all times distributecoal according to some predetermined plan, but the cost of fuelwill be considerably less, when purchased and distributed ac- 130 AMERICAN ENGINEER AND RAILROAD NOTE • Denotes coaling station using the equivalent of 100 tons standard coal per day. # Denotes coaling station and division point using the equivalent of 200 tons standard coal per Denotes coaling station and division point using the equivalent of 300 tons standard coal per Denotes source of coal suptly.
