Improvsmeue In Locomotives
After improvements IN ehe road
way, mainly by the elimination of
grades and curves, Improvements
in the locomotives have been the
master factor in operating ecuno-
mics In the first seven months of
1925, the railroads moved every
/ 600 tons of freight one mile on
thirteen pounds of fuel less than
vas used in the FIRST seven months
of 1924. They also moved every
car in a passenger train one mile on
IL less pounds of fuel In this way
2,20o, S20 tons were saved.
At the same time the average
number Of cars per freight train was
increased from 400 in 1924 to 43.1
IA this year, and the net tons per
train from Cos to 73l. Further
more, in spite Of the heavier and
longer trains the freight traffic of
the country moved four-tenths of q
mile faster this year than last.
In passenger service the saving of
fuel and costs was effected despite
an increase in passenger-train car
miles Of u, 800, 600 over the total
for the first seven nfoAths of 1924.
It mtst be borne IN mind that
tisis showing represents the saving
BY the introduction of only a COM
parativeiy few Of the latest type of
iucomotives. The Improvement of
equipment is progressive and con-
slant, and the companies cannot af-
ford to immediztety discard the old

TO improvements if no share of the

Certain of the strongest roads,

to make the improvements which
