. Eisenbahn- und Lokomotivtechnik: Eine praktische Zeitschrift der Eisenbahn-Triebkraft und des rollenden Stoffes. Fortlaufendes Schleppen eines Zuges von vierzehn Stahl Pullmancars mit einer nachhaltigen Geschwindigkeit von sechzig Meilen pro Stunde. Bei leichteren Zügen ist die Höchstgeschwindigkeit dieser Lokomotiven achtzig - die ursprünglich fünfunddreißig Lokomotiven in Dienst gestellt waren vier Antriebsachsen in einem starren Radstand gesetzt, und die Führung der Lokomotiven wurde von zweirädrigen Pony-LKWs an einem Ende begleitet. Diese Lokomotiven wiegen 100 Tonnenund schleppen acht Pullman-Fahrzeuge bei aspeed von 60 Meilen pro Stunde. Die nächste Entwicklung

. Railway and locomotive engineering : a practical journal of railway motive power and rolling stock . continuouslyhauling a train of fourteen steel Pullmancars at a sustained speed of sixty milesper hour. With lighter trains the maxi-mum speed of these locomotives is eighty- the thirty-five locomotives originallyplaced in service there were four drivingaxles set in a rigid wheel base, and theguiding of the locomotives was accom-plished by two-wheel pony trucks at eachend. These locomotives weigh 100 tonsand are hauling eight Pullman cars at aspeed of sixty miles per hour. The next development was the placingof four-wheel bogie trucks under eachend of a locomotive for the purpose of the wheels being driving wheels, and theentire weight of the locomotive beingthereby available for producing tractiveeffort, or draw-bar pull. The view shows one of these locomo-tives attached to what is known as theTwentieth Century Limited, the leadingtrain of the New York Central Lines.At the point where the picture was takenthe train was on the six-track section ofthe New York Central & Hudson River.

These speeds and ca-pacity have been repeatedly attained intests made both on the experimental trackmaintained by the railroad company nearSchenectady, N. Y., and also on the elec-tric division before the locomotives wereput in regular service. The electrical features of these locomo-tives are generally the same as in theoriginal electric locomotives first operatedby the company eight years ago. Theprincipal change is in the mechanical ar-rangement of the wheels and trucks. In improving the riding qualities at highspeeds. Of this class twelve locomotiveswere built, and they weigh 122 tons, theirhauling capacity being about the same asthat of the earlier electric locomotives. The new locomotives, as shown in theaccompanying illustration, weigh 132 tons, and the great increase in capa
