Weight

The Red Devils weighed 22 tons, according to J.L.Koffmann 1980: Der Rollenstromabnehmer in Amerika. Der Stadtverkehr 4/1980, s. 182-184. 42 tons seems too much also compared to the Brill Bullet's 26 tons, and also compared to 'typical 1920s large steel interurban 55' long and 14' high and 50 tons'. But I can't find any information about Red Devils' weight on the net. Pål Jensen (talk) 07:35, 1 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

The article first states that the distance Cincinnati-Toledo is 217 miles; in the paragraph Freight with... 'This is impressive considering that the distance from Cincinnati to Toledo was around 224 miles'. Did the freigt trains run a partially other route, or did the use an other terminal (or other terminals), or is one of the numers wrong? Pål Jensen (talk) 08:06, 1 April 2010 (UTC)Reply
