Monon trainmep say that the big battleship engines the road is now using are proving hard on the railway during this time of the year, and some of them doubt the good policy of injuring the track simply to get bigger trains over the line. The big engines weigh twice as much as the smaller sized machines and the trains they pull are of proportionate length and weight. The battleship engines had up to a week ago been pulling 1,500 tons south of here, but now the tonnage has been increased to 1,800.
