 AN ELECTRIC "FLIER" CROSSING THE "ROCKIES" 



The illustration above shows one of the crack express trains, the "Olympian" of the Chicago, Milwaukee, and St. Paul Railway, 

 being hauled by an enormous electric locomotive over the highest point that the track reaches in the Rocky Mountains, Montana. The 

 locomotive would hardly be distinguishable at a distance from the cars, but for the two large "pantographs" which pick up current from 

 the overhead conductor. The electric locomotives used on this system over 650 miles of track are the most powerful haulers yet made, 

 being able to work 3,200 ton loads up a I per cent, grade at 1 6 miles per hour.
