With a light passenger train, a single90-ton electric locomotive will developspeeds of twenty-five to thirty-five milesper hour on the level. It is evident fromthe facts here cited that the Baltimore &Ohio Railroad has in its new locomotivean engine which is suitable for either freightor passenger service and is capable of hand-ling the heaviest freight trains over thetunnel grades or the highest speed pas-senger trains at the greatest speed consistentwith its tunnel SPAN LENGTHS OVER EAST CHANNEL, SUSQUEHANNA RIVEIl
