As the installation was so advanced it isdeemed advisable to describe its principal features, al-though complete electrical operation appears to be in-definitely postponed. The network for which electric service is plannedcomprises the following: Double-track main line be-tween Lauban and Konigszelt, 80 miles; single-trackmain line, Niedersalzbrunn-Halbstadt, miles;double-track main line, Ruhbank-Landeshut, and single-track line, Landeshut-Liebau, totaling miles; single-track branch line, Hirschberg-Griinthal, miles and. | Ull2Sfc MOO >fj-)ir4150>fK150>t< MOO *K-1125H I 1 (< 13600 H f< 17J10 ,3 Motors T Transformers V Ventilators (Di ions in MM ) electric By.

The total length measured asroute is 170 miles and as single track, including sidings,yards, etc., 310 miles. The lines are in a mountainous district where nor-mally there is heavy coal, industrial and passenger busi-ness. The plan decided upon was to operate passengerexpress trains up to 500 metric tons and freight trainsup to 1200 metric tons. The physical features are con-sidered severe because of the large number of curvesand grades, and the snowfall in this mountain regionis also an important factor.
