The tests were held in 1886 and 1887. I don't have exact dates but they
lasted most of each year ....probably mostly Spring, Summer and Fall but I
think they also tested in some cold weather so it might have been Feb-Nov or
something like that.
Thanks,

Are there any members located near Burlington IA?
I contacted The Burlington Hawkeye to see if they had any pre-1900 photos of
Burlington equipment. They advised me "Some are at the Burlington Public
Library also try the Des Moines County Historical Society".
Contacting the Burlington Public Library they said their colleciton is only
available for viewing at the library. No response to my inquiry if it was
cataloged.
I am especially looking for photos of the Dynamometer Z as used in the West
Burlington Air Brake Trials in 1886 and 1887.
Please contact me off-list if anyone can do some legwork to see what these
sources might have....
Thanks,
