Some of the records above80 miles an hour lack the elements necessary to make them entirely credible. It will be observed that the notable performance of October 24, 1895,which made a number of records that stood unsurpassed for years, was set asideby another performance equally remarkable just ten years later — October 24,1905. Table II shows the best records for given distances. They are classified byspeeds alone, no account being taken of the modifying effects of load or grade,or size of engine. It will be borne in mind that these records are all those ofsteam locomotives. For distances under 15 miles, the electric locomotivewhich was tried on the Berlin-Zossen line in Germany in 1903 made speeds over130 miles an hour which have not yet
