| The greater part of the rolling stock is
always in motion. Empty cars are generally at Alleyton, at least more
frequently than at other points. |
| The wells furnish but a limited supply of
water about sufficient for one train each way per day, and two extra
trips per
week in addition. The Supt says that if ordered to do so he could keep
an engine and train at Alleyton to meet emergencies. |
