On the 6 grades the regular train weight for one locomotive was to be 66 tons, but often it reaches 71 tons. In place of splitting the trains in two, full trains of 121 to 132 tons are taken up the steep grades by two locomotives, one pulling, the other pushing. According to the report of Mr. Schmack, the superintendent of the road, this double team works very satisfactorily without causing any jerks or shocks. The regular way of operating is by the locomotive pulling the cars, and not pushing. All standard cars on the Bosnia and Herzegowina narrow gauge railways have three axles provided with the automatic Hardy air brake. One-half of all cars in passenger trains as well as in freight trains must be provided with air brakes. SAFETY IN THE OPERATION OF RACK RAILWAYS. The safety on rack roads, in spite of the steep grades, is almost absolute. No accident is on record that has happened on any of the large rack roads. The Ilarz railway has now been in operation for eight years, during winter and summer, without any disturbance or interruption. During the severe winters in 1SS6-7, 1887-8, 1S92-3, when the snow lay three feet on a level, the rack rail proved to be the most valuable assistant for keeping up traffic. There were only two or three days, when the snow was still deeper, that, temporarily, the trains ceased running. The Eisenerz-Vordernberg Eailroad reports: Only the most unfavorable conditions of winter weather, as happened in 1891-2, could compel us to interrupt traffic for a short time; but even opponents to the rack system must confess that we held out much longer and under more trying circumstances than could have been done by the adhesion system. We have frequent and terrible. . . This item ships from La Vergne,TN.<
