Electric locomotives were able to haul 500 tons at a time--a real challenge for a mule team. PM had the inside story on how this plate of ice, 16 ft. long x 9 ft. high, was produced. One of the article's headlines said it all: "All that is necessary is to extract heat from water and it becomes ice." Incidentally, the workers are standing behind the ice, not inside it.
