Railway and locomotive engineering : a practical journal of railway motive power and rolling stock . r)n thisroad, the headlights are mounted on swivel pivots directlyunder the roof overhung at each end of the cab. This protects the headlights from the weather and also providesthe maximum availaljility under all conditions of air brake equipment is of the standard 14-EL typeparticularly adapted for operating in multiple with stand-ard steam railway equipment. The compressors are ofthe D-4-P 50-ft. type. The motors are wound for1,200 volts per comniutator. The blower motor is aspecial motor with ball bearings and this is usedto ventilate the main propulsion motors, one of which ismounted on each axle. The air is obtained from the in-side of one of the hoods, which contain louvres. In thisway the maximum protection from weather, snow or dirt,is afforded in driving motors. The air is conductedthrough an air duct formed by closing the space betweenthe two center channels with a piece of iron sheeting andled directly to each motor through a flexible air Electric Freight Locomotive for the Aroostook Valley Railroad This blower equipment supplies each motor with 800 of air per minute. This greatly uicreases the continu-ous capacity of the motors and which is very necessarvwhen the locomotive is to do a large amount of switching-service. The electrical equipment is mounted on angle ironframework inside the center portion of the cab and be-cause of operation on a 1,200-volt system, double insula-tion is afforded for live parts. A unique feature in con-nection with this locomotive is that all auxiliary circuitsare fused to a common bus bar. Fuses of the expulsiontype are used. A separate auxiliary control cutout switchis mounted adjacent to the auxiliary fuses so that by open-ing this switch the auxiliary fuse bus bar is dead andfuses may he replaced without danger to the operator. The unit type of switch, mounted between angle iro
