Question Of Care Of Locomotives Dis
cussed by r. r. Men.
Chicago, Feb 25.--The Chicago rail-
road officials in charge of motive power
have been taking much interest in the,
discussion which has been going on in
English transportation circles over the
relative efficiency of American and
English locomotives. Figures are pro-
duced by a Chicago official which showed
that according to the reports of six
prominent American railroad companies
the plan in this country is to send the
engines to the shops for overhauling
every twelve or fifteen months. This
shows that so far as shop work on loco
motives is concerned the American man
ayers are more careful of their klocomo-
yves than are the English who overhaul
their engines once in two years. It is
shown by the figures of the western
roads that in America the locomotives do
iar more work, almost twice as much in
deed, as is gotten out Of similar engines
in England.
