The specifications call for unitscapable of handling an 1800-ton trailing load from one yard tothe other and negotiating a 2 per cent grade when two locomo-tives are operated in multitple unit, and of performing this serv-ice continuously with a 15-minute lay-over at each end. It is ofinterest to note that the locomotives are performing this servicein a most satisfactory manner. The actual grades on whichthey are operating are 2 per cent on the Detroit side, extending InsulatingCompound. [ \ Vi-0\ [ 1 Top of Track Kail 5.■. ■.) t =jp 5 V j - c Lead
