The paper deals with the tractive resistance of passenger trains in still air, and with the effect of wind at various angles Reference is mado to the advantages to be gained by streamlining. Particulars arc given of tests to determine the additional tractive resistance in tunnels and on curves. Finally, the resistance of goods trains is discussed, with reference to such information as is available.
