The braking in a run of this kindwould be a revelation to those engineerswho feel their way into a station forthe last half mile and who make two orthree applications to each stop. It was on the tenth day of February,1852, that the construction train of theLake Shore & Michigan Southern laidthe last rail necessary to an entry intoChicago. The first train in—the con-struction train—was pulled by a little 7^2-. CHARLESTON & WESTERN CAROLINA TEN-WHEELER. Boiler, diameter at small ring—56inches. Boiler pressure—180 pounds. Firebox, length—96 inches. Firebox, width—34 inches. Tubes,number—215; diameter, 2 inches;length, 12 feet 11 inches. Heating surface of tubes—1,456 squarefeet. Heating surface of firebox—163 squarefeet. Total heating surface—1,619 squarefeet. Capacity of tank— gallons. ft s s The Locomotive Gets There at MountHolly. The equipment of the Mount Holly roadwith electricity has been watched withconsiderable interest and a quiet little un-official test made there last month is worth good work for a type of machine with onewheel in the grave and the other a closesecond. The next entry was one of the motorcars, a full length passenger car with a100 horse-power motor on each truck,and which sometimes hauls two other carsfor company. This time, however, shewent it alone and al
