THE LOCOMOTIVES WORK

On the 25th OF August, 1914,
just one hundred years ago. George
Stephenson, the driver Of a gin.
horse at q colliery, brakeman, and
clock cleaner. constructed the trav-
cling engine "My Lord" which
successfully drew a train of eight
loaded cars for the proprietors Of
the Killingworth colliery. His To-
connective had made steam traction
possible. Others had made partial
successes with cogged wheeled ma
chimes but not until the grasshopper
like engine of Stephenson with its
waking beam like that of a modern
sldewheel steamer, pulled upgrade
at six miles al hour was the trav-
cling engine deemed commercially
feasible. The Stockton & Darling
ton railway rejected animal power,
following Stephenson's advice to
adopt steam engines. Fifteen years
later his engine "Stourbridge Lion"
vas sent to the United States, and
Horatio Allen ran it over a track
Of hemlock rails silencing the jeers
of the experts. On July "a, 1914,
the last day Of the century of
steam locomotion, the new 41O-ton
centipede locomotive of the Erie
railroad pulled 900 loaded cars,
weighing $1,000 tons.
Now the $4,000 locomotives that
drew a billion passengers and haul
nearly two billion of tons of freight
annually i'll the United States, some
of them compound engines weigh
ing $4,000 pounds each, have be-
come the chief factor of work in
our civilization,
Steam and electricity have made
possible the transformation that has
come in a single century. They
