The tender is also carried oneconomy tender trucks, which are the firstintroduced into this section of thecountry. It is interesting to learn that theselocomotives are making an excellentrecord of performances over the 171miles of railroad between Augusta andAtlanta. About one-third of the distanceis taken up with curves of which there are146, the maximum being three are only 7 miles of level grade,there being 131 ascending grades with anaggregate length of 96 miles, the total cents being 2,699 feet, and 113 descend-ing grades amounting to 1,786 feet,Atlanta being 913 feet in elevation ahoveftugusta The maximum grade is a per100
