the Empire State Express and the
Twentieth Century Limited, have an
indicated horse power Of $500 when
running sixty miles an hour.
The electric locomotive will be a
double-ender. running equally we'll in
either direction. It will have four
motors, each of $50 horse power at
normal rating. At each end will be a
pony truck consisting Of a single pair
Of wheels.
The conditions which the locomo-
tive would have to meet in actual
service were laid down by commits
sion appointed by the New York Cen
trail.
Various conditions were laid down
providing for certain speeds, with a
certain number of stops, the highest
being from the Grand Central station
to CrOtOn, thirty-fOur miles, in forty
| four minutes, with total train weight
Of 435 tons. This is the present tim
ing Of the Empire State Express, tho
the latter has a somewhat lighter
train.
| The commission did not specify
whether direct or alternating current
bidders to say. Several Of the bid
ders, both from the United States and
abroad, turned in bids in which al
ternating current was to be used, but
the advantages in design, together
with the known reliability of direct
| current motors and other technical
reasons, turned the scale in favor of
a locomotive of this type. The volt
age Of the motors will be 600, which
will be transmitted from the two
powerhouses at higher pressures as
/ alternating current and transformed
into direct current in substations in
the usual way.
