RAILROAD ACROSS THE At
LANTIC.
A French Engineer Thinks IT Is Practica
Bile with submerged Tubes.

French Engineer Thinks 1t Is Practica-
Bile with submerged Tubes.
A railroad across the Atlantic is on
the list of possibilities for future
achievement of science. Many years
ago a civil engineer read paper before
the French Academy suggesting sub
marine railway. His theory was that
at certain depth of the ocean, hun
dred fathoms or more-far below any
agitation from surface storms, the wa
ter is of such density that nothing in
tubular form, whatever the weight,
can possibly sink
Having thus made foundation in
the very bowels of old Neptune, he
proposed to sink continuous line Of
immense iron tubes-after the manner
of cable laying-in which a double
track could be laid between Cape
Clear, Ireland, and Cape Race, New
foundland and thus send trains boom
ing through the tube, to the consterna-
ton of the sea serpent and the mortal
terror of the big and little fishes.
The only serious objection this
learned academician could see to the
successful termination of this widest of
all deep-sea schemes was the suffocating
effects of the smoke from engines used
in a submarine railway tube if this
could be overcome, he said, then the
grand oceanic railroad only required
the necessary construction capital.
In the light of present day science,
when electricity is locked upon as the
handiest as we'll as the most unique of
all motive force. why may we not rea-
sonably expect the French Academy to
demonstrate the praeticability of their
learned fellows views.
Then again, the Keely motor lacks
only one turn of being a success, to say
nothing of the perpetual motion ma
chimes now incubating in this and other
cities of the United States. All of his
scientific objections in regard to smoke
having been overcome, let us call on
the French to build their water-sus-
pended oceanic railway in time for the
great Worlds Fair of 1898. For down
right "airiness" of conception this
Atlantic railway scheme beats M. Yer
ards st. Anne's bridge seross the
English Channel all hollow, and for

coaches of that day. The Mohawk and
Hudson Road In 1881 had six cars similar
to that represented in the engraving.
The next step was to join these coaches
together, and build cars with Compart-

A passenger train of the Mohawk and
Hudson Railroad which was put on In
October, 1881, between Albany and
Schenectady, attracted much attention.
1t was hauled by the English engine,
"John Bull" and driven by an English
engineer named John Hampson. This
is generally regarded as the first fully
equipped passenger train hauled by
5team-powcr engine which ran in regular
service in this country. During 1882 it
carried an average of 3S7 passengers
daily. The accompanying engraving
is from sketch made at the time.

of engines were imported to America by
the Stephensons. Most of. them were of
what is known as the "Planet," which
was form of engine that succeeded the
"Rocket"
In all these locomotives the axles were
held by the frames so that the former
were always parallel with each other.
This made it difficult to turn curves.
This was remedicd by John Il. Jervis,
who constructed an engine with main
driving axle rigidly attached TO the en-
CINE frame, and only one truck, or
"beafing carriage" consisting of two
pairs of small wheels attached to frame
and fastened TO the engine frame by a
klng-bolt
In 1894 Ross Winans, of Baltimore,
patented the application of the principle
which Mr.. Allen had proposed and
adopted for locomotives "to passenger
and other cars" He afterward brought
a number OF actions at law against rail
roads for infringement of his patent,
which was a subject OF legal controversy
for twenty years. Winans claimed that
his invention originated as far back as
1881, and was completed and reduced to
practice in 1894. The dispute was car
ried 10 the Supreme Cour. of the United
States and was decided against the
plaintiff after an expenditure OF $780,
600. 1t involved the principle in which
nearly all cars in this country are now

de lphia, patented the use of two pairs of
driving wheels and n truck. The driv-

From these comparatively small begir-
nings the magnificent cqui ment of our
railroads has grown. From Peter Cooper's
locomotive, which weighed less than a
ton, with a boiler the size of a barrel.
and which had difficulty in beating a
gray horse, we now have locomotives
which will easily run sixty and can ex-
coed seventy miles an hours, and others
which weigh seventy five tons and more.
comparison of the engine built by
Peter Cooper with the modern standard
express passenger locomotive shows the
progress which has been made in fifty
years. There have been many modifica-
tions in the design of locomotives to
adapt them to the changed conditions OF
the various kinds of traffic of to-day. An
express train travelling at high rate OF
speed requires a locomotive very differ
ent from one which is designed for
hauling heavy freight trains up steep

had four wheels, but now they have

In this country the Delaware and Hud-
son Canal at Honesdale, Pa, was the
pioneer in railroading, and in 1927 this
company built the Carbonate Railroad
under construction, connecting the coal
mines with the canal. This road was
sixteen miles i'm length and was opened
in 1929, to be operated by stationary en-
mes. The first locomotive in this coun-
try was run over this road Aug 9, 1929.
Mr.. Iloratio Allen, who is still living
near York, went to England in 1928, to
study the subject Of locomotive building.
He had a commission from the Delaware
and Hudson Canal (Ompany to purchase
rails for their ROAD and also their loco
motives To be built in England upon
plans to be decided upon by himself
after his arrival in that country. This
was before the trial of the Rocket"
on the Liverpool and Manches-
ter Railroad. The result of Mr..
Aliens investigations was TO produce
in his mind Il confidence in the multitu-
bular boiler which is now universally
used for locomotives. An order was
given TO Foster, Rostuch a Co., at Stone
bridge, for one engine whose boiler was
to have riveted fues Of comparatively
large size, and another order was given
10 Hessrs Stephenson d Co., of New
castle-on-T Tyne, for two locomotives with
boilers having small tubes. The engine
built by Foster, Roetuch d Co. was sent
10 this country and tried at Honesdale,

first locomotive ever used in this coun-
try. The two locomotives built by
Messrs. Stephenson IL Co. were sent To
this country, but there is no record of
their use.
The first railroad which was under
taken Cor the transportation of freight
and passengers in this country on a COM
prehensive scale was the Baltimore and
Ohio. It's construction was begun in
1928. Peter Parley's First Book Of His
tory" used as u school book half a cent
ury ago, says of this first railway: But
the most curious thing at Baltimore is
the railroad / must tell you that there
is a great trade between Baltimore and
the States west OF the Allegheny Noun
tains. The Western people buy great
many goods ct Baltimore and send in re-
turn "a great deal OF Western produce
There is, therefore. vast deal Of travel
ing back and forth, and hundreds OF
teams are constantly occupied in trans
porting goods aud produce To and from
market. Now, in order TO carry on this
business more easily, the people are
building what is called railroad This
consists of iron bars laid a.ong the
ground and made fast, so that carriages
with small wheels may run along upon
them with facility. In this way one
horse will be abe TO draw as much as
ten horses on common road. A part
of tbs raj way is already done. and il
you choose TO take ride upon it You can
do so. You will mount q car something
like a stage and then you will be drawn
along by lead horses at the iate of
twelve miles an hour.
The baltimore and Ohio had fifteen
miles of road in May, 1880. The ques-
ton OF locomotive power was under con-
sidcration for some time.
In 1929 and 1880, letter Cooper expert
mented with little locomotive on this
road. At meeting Of the Master Me-
chanics' Association In New York in
1915 at the institute which bears his
name-hc related with great glee how.
on the trial trip, he had beaten gray
horse attached TO another car. The

ments were that the engine, when in

one half tons weight, and must on a

In response to this call three locomo-
tives were produced, but only one was
made TO answer any useful purpose.
This engine, the "York," was built at
York, Pa, and brought to Baltimore
over the turnpike on wagons. After
undergoing certain notifications it was
