MODERN MOTIVE POWER

Crack Trains Thru Here Daily

With delivery during the next few
days of the fourth of the 5000 HIP

Electric Motive Corporation, a sub
sidiary of General Motors, the Balti-
more and Ohio will shortly be operat-
ing the National Limited, its crack
New York-St. Louis train, in both di-
rections through Oakland with these
big and powerful locomotives.
One of the Nationals new engines
has been in operation for more than a
week, and has already shown it's capa-
bilities, on one day taking the train
at Washington, Ind, more than an
hour late because of delayed south
western connections at st. Louis) and
arriving at Parkersburg ahead of
schedule.
The DieseIs will handle the train
between Washington, D. c., and
Washington, Ind, including the steep
grades of the Alleghenies where this
type of power works at great efficien-
cy. Two other units of the same type
have been handling the other top
fight east and west train Of the B. &
o., the Capitol Limited, between Chi
cago and Washington for the last few
months, and have not only shown their
great capacity as haulers but have

hundreds of passengers on their

less of speed.
Unlike the Diesel units that are be-
ing used in the short, articulated
trains that have been operating dur
ing the last few years on other rail
roads, and that are housed in the for
ward part of the leading car, the b. d
O.'s Diesel is exclusively a power unit,
and can be used on any train of proper
tonnage. The units consist of two
Winton V type high-compression two
cycle engines, burning Diesel oil and
developing 900 engine horsepower

and 10-inch stroke, and weighs less

haul passenger trains of varying ton
mage and over terrain of diversified
character.
Although speeds as high as 100
miles an hour may be attained with
this type of Diesel, it's principal adj
vantages are the development of prac-
tically full power for use in starting a
train, and rapid acceleration, it being
estimated that speed of sixty miles
an hour can be attained with full train
load within three minutes of the start.
The route traversed by the Nation
al, now hauled by these beautiful
streamlined locomotives, includes
some of the most interesting parts Of
the historic B. & O. From a point
slightly west of Washington, D. c.,
through Oakland and as far as Graf
ton, West Va, it is a section of the
cold Main Line" of the B. & 0. that
first connected the Ohio River (at
Wheeling, West Va.) with the Allan
tic, at Baltimore, on Christmas Eve
of 1852. West of the Ohio, the route is
for the most part the old Ohio and
Mississippi, which was the first line to
connect the two great rivers, and
which for many years has been part
of the B. & O.

and then, when the Presidents secre-
tary announced another appointment,
was courteously dismissed without
having had any opportunity to men
ton the question on which he was to
be consulted.
That sort of thing has happened be-
fore. Men have gone to see the Pres
ident at his request, come away with
out having talked upon anything Of
real Importance, found their visit re-
corded in the newspapers, been forced
to conclude that for some occult White
House purpose they had been used as
window dressing. Undoubtedly, some
of the businessmen conferences of
the last three weeks have been window
dressing and nothing else. And there
will be more of them. This week there
is to be a large gathering of ffty-odd,
chaperoned by Secretary Roper, all

that at his next press conference or
with the "Richberg Plan" or with a
gesture toward further infationary
expenditures or in some other way,
Mr.. Roosevelt will reassure his Left
Wing friends, who are deeply panied
whenever he seems about to recover
faith in the multiplication table.
The fact is that the President APP
preciates the business point of view,
recognizes the truth of what his con-
sentative advisers have told him,
knows he cannot pull the New Deal,
or the country, out of the hole unless
business RECEIVERS its confidence and

simply cannot bear alternating his rad

of tn eother stock phrases which fall
so readily from their lipe. 1t is un-
fortunate for the country that this is
his state of mind, because it prevents
any real strength of administration at
time when it is very badly needed.
This business of playing both ends
against the middle may be all right
when things are on an even keel, but
it is not without danger when they are
not.
