Farmville line again

Wed Oct 1 17:41:45 EDT 2014

Harry,

The Z-1 was rated at 5,000 tons with an M-2 pusher from Farmville to Crewe with a maximum 0.45 percent grade (that was before the new High Bridge was built in 1914 which reduced that grade slightly).  Before the coming of the Z-1s, the M-2s were rated at 3,500 tons with an M-2 pusher.
