Although this is a single-track line, traffic is extremely heavy, as it is a link between themining district and the northern seaboard through a mountain-ous region with many tunnels, considerable grades and severeclimatic conditions. The electric locomotives on order will be of the freight type,with the following dimensions: Length over buckles 46 ft. Height Width of cab 9 ft. 8 in. Rilid wheel base lift. 6 in. Maximum wheel base 35 ft. The locomotives will be arranged for regenerative breaking,and will operate at 3,000 volts. The locomotive speed at con-tinuous rating is miles an hour. Pantograph collectors willbe used similar to those on the St. Paul locomotives, having adouble contact The Development of the Rohinson Conneetor Latest Type Incorporates Iiuprovements Sug-gested by Extensive Service of Earlier Design THE coupling and uncoupling of cars, either passengeror freight, involves two operations: the engaging ordisengaging of the couplers and the connecting or dis-connecting of the train lines. The former ojjerations aresemi-automatic and are controlled by levers convenientlylocated at the sides of the car; the latter, however, must still
