Northern Pacific demonstrated that welded rails can be safely transported in half-mile lengths over line that crosses three mountain ranges having grades up to 2.2% and numerous sharp curves; eight strings of welded rail were loaded onto 55 dropend Hart cars, on which rails were supported on rollers and one flat car having rollers at its rear end to contain 2490-ft strings.
