Experience in the operation of those European nar- row-gauge roads which carry passengers and freight has afforded these conclusions to our hands, and by the high figures of their total working expenses has estab- lished this fact : that hitherto efforts have not succeeded in rendering the operation of the narrow-gauge roads cheaper than that of the standard-gauge roads ; that indeed in most cases the former fall behind the latter in economy. The question of the economy in equipping the two sys...tems takes a wholly different phase, however, when we take into consideration the fact that on the standard-gauge secondary road, whose traffic natur- ally can be carried at much lower speed than that of the main road, the whole equipment of locomotives, passenger and freight cars, turn-tables, switches, transfer-tables, etc. , which have become inadequate to the amount and speed of the service on the main line, and in construction have fallen behind the times, can find employment for many years, being perfectly well calculated hi regard to economy, construction and safety, for the slow service of the secondary road.
