A New System of Steam Heating
adopted on the Pennsylvania
Railroad.

After two wears of trials and experiments
the PENNSYLVANIA Railroad Company his
adopted a system for heating the passenger
cars by steam, which experts leclare To be
the best, safest, and surest mode of heating

The Philadelphia Times of March 18th
thus describes it,
The system is what is known rs the condcnsa-
ton system. Two straight iron pipes, two inches
in diameter, placed under the floor of the ear
and are connected by cross pipes in the centre A
small pump is fastened Done corner of the tender
and connected with the boiler by pipe. The
steam passes through the pump, enters one pipe
and passes through 1t to the centre OF the ear.
Here ii goes up through "A valve and branches off
into two iron pipes. These pipes extend across
the width OF the ear and are Joined TO two long
wrought-iron tubes running lengthwise ofthe car.
From these project short spur pipe under each
seat The steam goes through these pipes, passes
up through the radiators in each end of the ear
and is then drawn down through east iron pipe
back to the centre of the car, where it passes
through valve and enters the return pipe.
The little pump on the tender is constantly at
work and creates vacuum which draws back to
the pump the condensed water. In addition to
this the exhaust from the pump and the air-brak G
are both directed into the tank. The valve in the
centre of the is SO arranged that when the
temperature is high enough. by turning a small
cock under the centre seat the supply of steam is
shut of from that car and it rushos through the
pipe to the next one In this manner one car can
be without any heat while the thermometer climbs
up in the nineties in the others. Or In the same
