o Locomotive.


Electrical optimists are beginning to
shout that the doom OF the steam rail-
road has come. Four years ago. when
IL was announced that an electrical
road was to be- built In Southern Eu-
rope capable OF sending heavy trains
along at a speed of 10. or. for that mat
ter. 220 miles an hour, the same optimists
agreed that the days Of the steam road
were ended.
Since then, however. great strides have
been made in the inventive field, and, al
though the l20-mile -an-hour road has not
materiallzed. the supporters OF electricity
as against steam are In a much strong,
position to-day than at any time since
the first discussion OF the project.
The fact that the Nantasket branch oil
the New York, New Haven and Hartford
road has recently been changed from
steam to electricity. and Is now operating
successfully under the latter power, is
the best evidence yet produced OF the
practicablity Of the scheme. Railroad
men are inclined TO regard the change as
almost too important for newspaper dis
cussion. They want to see their way
clearly before committing themselves IL
an expression of opinion.
That electricity Will eventually be the
motive power of all great railroads they
are agreed upon, but on the question
Of whether the time has already come for
the great change they are in doubt. 1t
IL generally believed that the New York,
New Haven and Hartford Company has
made the test on one OF the least used
OF its branch lines for a purpose of great
Importance. The new order OF things has
worked satisfactorily so far, and the
line will be operated I'm the same way
through the winter OF 1895 and 1895. Then.
II everything has gone as well as now.

Of one OF the motors Is shown here.
The motors are built at schenectady.
and unique test made there shows that
the hauling power OF the motor Is greater
than that of the heavy steam locomotive.
On the tracks Of the New York Central
the motor was hitched to heavy six
wheel engine. The machines were set in
motion in opposite directions, and the
great tug of war between steam and
electricity was begun. The strain on the
coup.ing-pin was terrific, but the question
was soon solved. as the electric loco
motive pulled the steam engine up and
down the track at will.
These motors have not been designed
for great speed, fifty miles being about
the limit. They are the largest rail-
way motors in the world, and, while pom
derous in appearance. are By no means
so bulky as might be expected from the
heavy duty they are called upon TO per-
FORM They are so set on the truck that
they are easy OF access under all ctrcum-
stances. The cab, which Is spring sup
ported on the truck frame, Is OF sheet
iron and wood, and has windows on all
sides in order that the occupants have
an unobstructed view in all directions
Within the cab is set up the series
parallel controller, by means OF which the
instant command OF the driver and the
air-pump. operated by small electric
motor, supplies the air for the compressed
air-brake and the whistle.
The trucks are OF forged iron. each
resting upon four driving-wheels OF cast
steel, sixty-two inches In diameter.
F'lexibly supported upon each OF these
trucks are two six-pole gearless motors.
one for each axle. transmitting their
motion from the armatures TO the
wheels by means OF an especially de-
signed flexible coupling. The method Of
spring suspension has been carefully
modified to allow of the immediate ad-
tustment OF the wheels to the irregulari-
ties OF the track, and thus effect d.
intuition In the wear. both TO the motors
and the track. The massive armatures
are OF the ironclad type. A hollow
shaft serves 70 carry the armature. and
through this passes the wheel-ayle. to
which II Is connected by the universal
coupling, which allows OF freedom of
movement in any direction. The total
weight OF the locomotive Is ninety-fye
tons.
AN ELECTRICAL MYTH.
l Three years ago there was a treat
deal OF talk about an electric road be-
tween Chicago and st. Louis making
the 20 miles in two hours and a half
or less. Practical railroad men al the
time placed little confidence I'm The
scheme. claiming that its projectors
were trying to attain the perfection OF
electrical railroadng at one bound and
without the Necessary intermediate ex-
periments. Time has shown their
