between two nearby cities, such
trains as the Comet could be used
to advantage.
They see in such trains as the
Comet the best opportunity of the
railroad to take back the business
which it has lost to the automo-
bile. They believe that by shaving
minutes off a short run and hold
ing out the added inducements
Of air conditioning and riding
comforts, the traveller can be
made to prefer the train to his
own automobile.
THE Comet does in A minutes
- what previously took SIS to IS
minutes with steam equipment.
Suppose 80 minutes can be cut off
a two-hour or three-hour run. The
picture becomes attractive.
While the public has come to
think of the Diesel engine in con-
junction with streamlined trains,
it is a mistake to think of the
two as inseparable. There is a
big field for the Diesel which has
nothing to do with streamlining.
This is the field of the rail car.
The rail car is a single car
which combines power plant, bag
gage space and passenger space
all in one. The first rail cars
used gasoline engines, and many
of them are now in use. But the
business is beginning to go to the
Diesel.
Branch lines, where the haulS
are short and the stops are many,
form the natural field for the rail
car.
Rail cars can be built as pow
erful as desired. Where the traf-
fic is not dense, single rail car
may be sufficient. They can be
built, however, to haul a trailer
or any desired number of con-
ventional passenger cars.

A SYMPHONY in silver and blue catches your eye in
Boston's South Station. Standing amid the smoking,
begmed locomotives and the soocovered railway coaches,
as conspicuous in faultess evening dress pa
radng the corridor of a coal mine.
No second glance is needed to tell you that here is
something new in the railroad world something that cha
enges the orthodox equipment surely as the rst
automobile challenged the horse and wagon.

tenth to one-siXth those of oper-
ating a steam locomotive. This
explains why they think the Die
sci will replace the steam iocOmo-
tive for switching purposes.
THE Westinghouse engineers
Il calculate the cost of operating
a steam locomotive for switching
operations at $119.62 a day.
The Diesel-electric locomotive
built for the same purpose can be
operated for $4472 a day. In ad-
dition to cutting the cost, they
claim that the Diesel provides
faster operation.
The Electro-Motive Corp. of
Chicago, a subsidiary of General
Motors also is interested in the
manufacture of Diesel electric
locomotives for switching opera
tons.
It's products include a lotion,
600-horse power Diesel-electric
switching locomotive. Their engi-
neers say that the Diesel has
proved its economy and efficiency
in this field.
The company also manufactures
Diesel-electric engines for switch
ing purposes of 80 and 1200-horse
power, and an 1900-horse power
locomotive for transfer operations.
This company and the Winton
Engine Co. of Cleveland repre-
sent General Motors ventures in
the Diesel field. Electro-Motive
is building new plant in Chicago
which we shall discuss next.
Monday-A plant of the future.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1935-09-07

has two Diesel-electric power
plants, one at each end OF the
train.
The train never leaves the yards
at either end of the run to turn
around. Each morning in Provl-
dence at 7:3O the engineer enters
the cab headed toward Boston and
opens the throttle. When the
train reaches Boston he locks that
cab and makes his way to the cab
at the other end of the train. Here
are a duplicate set of controls.
When he opens the throttle there
the train is on its way back to
Providence.
THE Comet, the first light
Il weight, streamlined train de-
signed to travel short distances,
was built by the Goodyear-zep-
pelin Corp. Of Akron. The Alum
mum Co. of America furnished the
aluminium alloy sheets and cast
ings. The Westinghouse Electric
& Manufacturing Co. made the
Diesel engines and electrical
equipment.
The Comet cost the New York,
New Haven & Hartford Railroad
approximately $25O,OOO, and was
built with funds advanced by the
railroad division of the PWA. 1t is
recorded as PWA Project No. 1898.
Many observers see in the Com
ct a possible development more
important than the use of the
Diesel-electric train for long runs.
They believe that wherever there
is a dense volume of committing
traffic, or high volume of traffic

Rep. Sam Pettengill, South Bend

before departing Washington that
his bitter fight against the Presi-

seat in the 1886 election. If that
is so, it will cause no shedding
of tears in the inner White House
sanctuary.
Kansas City, with a $6,50O,000
PWA-financed auditorium, is
planning a strong bid for both
national conventions next year.
The new structure covers five and
one-half acres, will be air-condi-

ity of $4,000.
The Securities and Exchange
Commission warning to school
teachers against investing in

effect of that announcement will
be to close down the association

forbidden it to issue securities.
This is a power SEC does not
have, but is is using its power of
investigation to accomplish the
same end when it believes it has
discovered fraud.
