In addition to the passenger trailer,a 53-ton express car will lie hauled regularly betweenCanastota and Freeville while at times a 73-ton expresscar will lie hauled over the whole line. The motor carwill weigh 124,000 lb. without load, making a maximumtrain makeup of 219 tons without load. Tin- floor plan of the car which will operate as trains322 and 325 is shown in Fig. 3. It will weigh 133,500 load and will be similar to the car shown in except that the baggage compartment will be shortened. Fig. 1.

The main requisite necessary be-fore these units can perform any more work than tinw-are doing now is more power and this, in turn, has re-sulted in the development of the double-unit power plant. The Lehigh Valley Railroad is the pioneer railroad tomake extensive use of double power plant gas-electric carsas they have recently purchased a sufficient number ofthem to handle the majority of their branch line serviceas well as some of their main line service.
