VERTICAL RAILWAY CURVES. *45 Q affects the train as a whole to accelerate its velocity, or, if not large enough for this, to keep the train from decreasing in velocity as fast as it otherwise would, due to the normal train resistance. // the train is so long that it may more than cover the whole… … Fig. ii. Fig. 12. the train passes from the left toward the right it would occupv some such position as that shown in Fig. io. Notice as the loco- motive passes A, moving from the left toward the right, the O required to keep compression from the couplings before the loco- motive reaches B is as…
