Fuel Consumption on the Stonington

road.
The tonnage rating of locomotives
and its effect on fuel consumption was
discussed at the last meeting of the
New England Railroad club at Provi-
dence, and 1t was stated that this
seemed to be the only way of rating
engines because the capacity of cars
varied from 10000 to $4,000 pounds,
Statistics of the work of the Consoli-
dated engines running between Prov
tdence and New London were present.
ed. The freight engine had 21x26-inch
cylinder, 51-inch driving wheels, 70
inch boiler SHE'LL a 43x120 fire box, and
weighed about 1874, 900 pounds,
Engine No. 900 was observed dur
ing thirty round trips. The number of
cars hauled was 2,404; loaded cars, L.
44S; empty cars, 956; tons freight haul
ed, 21,690; dead weight hauled, $1,000;
pounds of coal burned, 314, 300; engine
mileage, 3,S40; mileage for one round
trip, 1913; average number of cars per
train, "a loaded and 16 empty, 40; net
tons of freight per train, 800; net tons
of empty cars, plus weight of cars load
ed, 500; average coal consumed per
train of 40 cars for Ga miles, 5,2S6
pounds; average coal burned per ton,
hauled GA miles, SAG pounds; average
coal consumption per ton hauled one
mile, .0S5 pounds
In this calculation it is assumed that
the average car weighs 10000 pounds.
Fully half of the cars hauled were
Pennsylvania, Lehigh Valley and Phil
adelphia and Reading cars, that had a
light weight of about $4,000 pounds.
The others were home cars of about
$4,000 pounds weight; average of the
whole, 10000 pounds each The loads
We're estimated at 10000 pounds. This
was not rating for those engines,
only a comparative record of work per-
formed and coal consumed.
These engines are capable of taking
so loaded cars in either direction In
stead of hauling 40 cars, they could
have hauled so loaded cars, and that
would have brought the amount of
coal consumption per ton hauled lower,
because an engine can go fully or rea-
sonably loaded without any very ma
terial extra expense.
John Henney, jr., of this city, the de-
signer of the new engines used ON the
New York, New Haven and Hartford,
believes that the size of wheels has a
good deal to do with the fuel consump-
ton. His idea is that with wheel that
is too small, unless it is to run at a low
rate Of speed, 50 there will be no Slip
there will be quite a waste in fuel, and
ha saws that a wheel saw Of 56 inches
making with the tire 63 inches, of
course doing the same work and going
the same distance with less revolution,
makes a difference of fuel consump-
ton, provided there is a boiler large
enough and power enough behind to
drive those wheels up to speed.
