Freight Train Sets Pennsylvania Line Record Flight
A heavy freight run on the Pennsylvania system between Altoona and Enola set a new standard after minor line improvements. Five steel gondola cars carrying 4 451 tons of coal rode behind locomotive 1112, totaling 1 001 tons over a 124 mile stretch in seven hours and fifteen minutes at 60.7 mph. The test featured a 3 000 car length and proved the mid division grade revisions cut adverse curves to enable single locomotive moves without a pusher for long freights.
