. La revue de chemin de fer de rue. L'un des petits détails est que la voie iiiiloading lias une pente placée devant elle de sorte que la voiture dérive à sa position avec-hors de l'utilisation des freins. Les courbes sortantes sont toutes disposées de manière à avoir une pente descendante dès que la station de chargement est passée. L'espace occupé par ces pistes et boucles est comparativelysmall. Comme le montrent les plans, il y a trois stations de déchargement, occupant une tangente de 120 pieds de long. Les lignes pointillées montrent comment il est possible de doubler et de rendre parallèle aux pistes de chargement. Le K — X-X-X — IF+- S/vr/f/i^C£ ro/^ix our- GofO. cur

. The street railway review . One of the small details is that the iiiiloading track lias a sharpgrade placed in front of it so that the car drifts to its position with-out the use of brakes. The outgoing curves are all arranged so asto have a down grade as soon as the loading station is past. The space occupied by these tracks and loops is comparativelysmall. As shown in the plans there are three unloading stations, occupying a tangent 120 feet long. The dotted lines show how thiscan be doubled up and made parallel with the loading tracks. The K — X-X-X — if+- S/vr/f/i^C£ ro/^ix Our- GofO. curves are all drawn with 40 ft. radius. -Ml the storage tracks canbe conveniently packed into any convenient space. The station it-self, however, is entirely independent of the storage and the switch-ing and is part of the main line. It is to be understood that all butone loop may be used for storage through the day. The innerloop, however, would be considered part of the main line both dayand evening in cases where the main line extends beyond the park, liven at the rush hours it would only take a minute and four sec-onds for any car to go through the loops, if they happen to forma part of a main line and not a terminal. gain ill streiiglli and durability. There is also a simplification of theswitching and a reduction in the cost of the special work. Of course, there arc some theoretical diflicultics, but it is notable that thosewho arc operating along loop lines never seem to encounter them.The real difticulty seems to be that it is not always easy to obtain aright of way for a loop.
