An 11-car train, made up of six motor cars and 5 coaches,and operated by multiple-unit control, recently made an 80-mile run onthis road. Incidentally, with the extremely small loss on the 6000-voltcontact line, long trains can be operated successfully over longdistances. Valtellina Railway of Italy uses 58-ton motor cars which haul five 22-ton coaches, making a 168-ton train. There are 2 twin , 15-cycle, three-phase gearless motors, mounted on a hollow shaft, per motorcar. Power is transmitted to 46-inch drivers by flexible couplings.
