DOING WORK HERE
Santa Fe Shops Crowded With
Oklahoma Engines.
Road VIII Burn Oil Instead Of
Coal ON Panhandle.

Seventy-five Santa Fe locomotives on
the Oklahoma division will burn oil
Instead Of coal in the future. The en-
gines are being changed now in the
shops in Topeka.
The reason for this change is due
largely to the fact that large addition
al oil fields have been discovered in
Oklahoma. The oil regions are easily
accessible to the railroad. The first
engine converted in the Topeka shops
was No. 1862, which has arrived in Ok
lahonna for regular work.
For the past few years the Santa F'e
has been using coal on the Oklahoma
division because Of the high cost Of oil.
The price Of oil has dropped consider
ably in the last few. months and Santa
coal. Through Colorado, New Mexico,
Arizona and Colorado, nearly ali Of the
engines are using oil.
