RAILROAD TRAINU.S. Patent No. 536,360 | EXCURSIONS |
|
One train overtaking another on the same track causes no trouble, if at least the slower train is equipped with the inventor's system. It's a set of inclined rails at the front and rear ends of the train, and continuous track along its roof.
A small detail: If both trains are equipped with the system, the overtaking train's front inclined rail must ride slightly above those on the overtaken train's rear end. Then it's simply up and over!
