The initial electrification of

The official test of the new

a two per cent grade near Janney,
one of the heaviest grades on the

Sine divisions, extending from
Uarlowton, Mont., to Avery, Idaho, a
total distance of approximately 440

including yards and sidings. While
this comprises the extent of track
to be equipped in the near future,
i' is understood that plS-hs are be

distance of 850 miles, should the
