This isprobably an improvement so far as affording morespace for seats is concerned, but the plan undoubtedlydetracts from the real object of the side doors—that is, of allowing the cars to be the most quickly filled andemptied. Another difference is that the Wabashscoaches have only four doors on each side, or eight inall, while those used by the Illinois Central had tento the side, or a total of twenty. This is also a featurein which the Illinois Central surpassed in the matterof constructing a coach so as to be more quickly filledand emptied.

On this account the springs firstput under the coaches were made too strong, and thetemporary abandonment of the use of the cars for afew days has therefore been made necessary in orderto remove a couple of leaves and make them weaker.For their shuttle-train service
