Excerpt from On the Construction of Canadian Locomotives
The passenger service on main lines is more often a combination of express and local than either one of these chiefly. Thus the majority of through express trains have to stop at nearly all stations either by time-table or by signal. Special care is therefore required in designing the engines so as to combine free running with the quickest possible starting power; and a continuous brake is also rendered necessary as well as expedient for economising time in stapping.
