Traflic became so dense on the division that the maximumcapacity of the single track was practically reached, and if any as represented on the dvision over which the tests were made,there would seem to be no reason to expect any undue injuryto the locomotive itself when running at a speed of .30 milesper hour. As to the injury to Uie track at speeds of 30 miles per hour,the weight per
