Scale installed by this road at Lincoln, Neb, has total capacity of 900,000 lb and permits accurate determination of individual wheel loads; it is made of 18 separate units, each of plate fulcrum type and comprising in itself complete scale of 50,000-lb capacity; units are spaced so that any locomotive now owned by Burlington can be weighed without shifting.
