ATHENS, Sept. 30.-There are ten
monster American locomotives stand
ing in line on sidetrack at the
Piraeus. the port of Athens. gradu-
ally going to pieces for lack of
use. They are evidence of the pro-
gressive modern methods which
recent government railway admin
istration sought to put into practice,
without, however. making due calcu-
lations on advance.
II was felt that the time had come
to modernize Greek railways, and
an extensive project was worked out
to that end One part of the plan
was to have the latest type of large
and powerful American locomotives.
These were ordered. and ten of them
we're shipped across the Atlantic,
They were greatly admired when
they arrived, but when they were
put on the tracks it was discovered
that the light rails almost flat
tened out with the weigh of the big
engines, and the bridges along the
main routes were not strong enough
to permit the engines to pass. 1t
meant new bridges and new roadbed
everywhere, and as the finances
were not equal to this strain the
locomotives were laid up for a time.
This was many months ago, and the
locomotives still are waiting for the
bridges to be strengthened.
