Naturally, long down-grades and sharp-radius curves make the control of heavy trains difficult and place considerable strain on brake rigging. Not so where electric locomotives with their regen erative braking are employed. The two per cent grade which extends for 21 miles between Pied.. mant and Donald on the C.· M. & St. P. is now negotiated at a uniform speed of 17 miles an hour.
