On only seven runs was thereany time lost by the locomotive whichwas not more than made up before theterminal was reached. On each of theseoccasions there were contributory causesfor the delays for which the locomotiveshould not be held responsible. Coupled with the particularly excellentshowing made by the locomotive, whenthe demands on its power were greatest,this consistently satisfactory perform-ance day in and day out, while not spec-tacular, indicates a sustained capacitysufficient not only to meet the ordinaryrequirements of modern fast passengerservice, but also with a large margin toperform the unexpected service. It fur-nishes additional proof to that alreadygiven by service tests that locomotive ,000 provides a capac
