the !Vnnylvnnia last year and the first
to b completed, is now in si-r ice be
tween New York and Philadelphia.
It is 7" feet king and tlx- heaviest

the art.
This car Heats SS persons. Its total
weight is 110,000 pounds 53 tons and
it is hoped to reduce this figure in later
designs. The standard modern coach
weighs ony 84,900 pounds. For every
passenger carried, the new coach has
KtOO pounds of open hearth stoe. Kach
truck weighs 12,5uO pouuds.
The feature of construction, the fac
tor whieh secures the car against the
dangers of collision, is the central box
girder, 24 inches wide by 19 inches
deep, extending throughout the length'
of the car. As a further insurance
against collapsing, its frame struclure
has been built upon the principle of the
cantilever bridge, suspended on the
trucks at piers. It is equipped with a
new type of coupler, stronger than any
thing used before, and socially de
sigue to avoid any possibility of break
age. and the resulting parting of trains.
The floor is of magnesium cement, laid
on corrugated iron. The coach is
lighted by electricity, derived from
t liilti gem nit.m' oi- storage batteries.
The heating and ventilating are upon
the most approved principles.
