This piece of track on the mountain cut-off, Wyoming Di-vision, on the Lehigh Valley Railroad, as shown by Fig. 1, for19V4 miles has a grade of about 60 ft. to the mile, with frequentcurves of 8 degrees. The remaining four miles has a grade of16 ft. to the mile only, but with a full train it is necessary forthe pusher to follow until the summit is passed. The princi-pal dimensions of the former pusher engines are shown in , as engine No. 695. and the present pushers as engine ,300, Fig. 2. Both have wide fireboxes and burn a mixture ofbituminous and buckwheat anthracite. Engines of the 695 class.
