Six-wheel trucks were used on the com-bination cars and four-wheel trucks onthe baggage coaches, both being equipped Japanese oak is so hard that spikes can-not be driven into it, and screw holeshave to be prepared in advance. Thewood will remain in the ground almostas sound as when newly cut down fornearly thirty years. A recent large ship-ment is being prepared for use at GreatBend, Kansas. A thorough test of thetimber has been made, and in the extcn-. S freight car construction and the advanceduse of metal in furniture, fittings, etc.,■have been favorable factors in promotingthis development. • In addition to the regular all-steel pas-senger coaches manufaclured for thePennsylvania Railroad, there has recentlybeen built for this road at the works ofthe Pressed Steel Car Co., Pittsburgh, of all-steel baggage cars and all-steel combination passen.^er and baggage PASSENGER .\XD B.\\G1-; C.\R FOR with 5x9 ins. axles and 36 ins.
