AUTO ENGINE USED
IN RAIL TRACTOR
Rerce-Arrow Power Employed in
Successful Experiment by Penn
sylvania Railroad.
FOR SERVICE IN BALTIMORE

The Pennsylvania railroad Of Baltimore,
Nd. is utilizing a Pierce-Arrow sixty-six
horsepower engine as motive power
plant in its new tractor, which is causing
considerable interest in railroad circles.
On account OF the Baltimore city ordi-
hence which prohibits the use of steam
locomotives through the streets on the
block route the movement OF freight
cars over the so-called block route has
been formerly accomplished by eight
horse teams. The Pennsylvania railroad
has been the target Of considerable COM
plant from business men because of the
persistent use Of out-of-date and the slow
horse method Of hauling freight cars. For
this reason they were anxious to see the
block route" in Baltimore covered by
ansup-to-date and efficient motor tractor.
The electric tractor was designed and
built especially for use In Baltimore by
the Pennsylvania Railroad company in
their shops In Altoona, Pa. Its charac-
teristics are essentially adapted for serv-
ice in Baltimore as regards elimination
of noises and smoke and providing a
safer, more slightly, more efficient and
selft-contained form of motor power. No
expense has been spared to obtain the
most efficient and quiet running auxiliary
machinery. motor and gearing to be had.
As example the following may be men,
toned:
Pleasure Car Engine Used.
A Pierce-Arrow sixty-six horsepower
automobile engine is the essential prime
mover. Cheaper but holster truck engines
were available, but the best pleasure car
engine as used In 5000 cars was insisted
upon in the ironolad instructions which
T. ". Buckwalter, the designer. handed
to the railroad engineers when designing
the tractor. The standard sixty-six
Pierce-Arrow engine lie used, comprising
the same self-starter electric lighting
plant control board as used on pleasure
cars. A General Electric generator is d.
rectly connected to the Plsrce-Arrow en-
CINE which furnishes power direct to the
tive electric motors on the two axles for
the four-wheel drive. The engine runs at
constant speed of $50 revolutions per min
ute; whereas, the same engine is some
times operated at twice that speed in a
touring car.
The tractor runs with equal facility in
either direction; in fact both ends are
front ends. Freight cars can be pushed
or pulled. Thus. il car is placed few
feet too far in spotting, It can instantly
be placed as wanted without uncoupling.
The tractor will handle six loaded freight
cars on level track and two loaded cars

A stop was also made at Excursion Inlet, where the cannery was supplied with a thousand barrels of oil.

The ship was taking water but no more than could be easily handled by her pumps. The vessel was not badly damaged, although about 40 feet of her plates were scraped by the rock, and the rivets torn out. There was some talk about the Mariposa going into dry dock at Seattle.
