. Railway and locomotive engineering : a practical journal of railway motive power and rolling stock . A Practical Journal of Motive Power, Rolling Stock and Appliances Vol. XXXVIII 136 Liberty Street, New York, September, 1925 No. 9 The Diesel Oil—Electric Locomotive and Its Performance in Service Some Details of Its Design and Operation in Service With Economies Effected. Early last year an electric locdmotive, driven by an of the exhaust is also mounted on the roof. Sufficient oil engine, the first of its kind built in America, was fuel can be carried for 48 hours continuous switching built jointly by the General Electric Company and the Company. Owing to its high economy it is free from smoke, which The engine weighs pounds and is equipped with renders it particularly suitable for service in cities or in a Deisel f>il engine, adapted for burning fuel oil. places where smoke is 60-Ton Oil-Electric Locomotive Drilling Cars manufactured by the Ingersoll-Rand Company, directlyconnected to a 200 kilowatt direct current generator builtby the General Electric Company. The direct motivepower consists of four General Electric motors, one ofwhich is geared to each of the four .■\ six-cylinder engine is used and designed to burnfuel oil according to the principles of the well-knownPrice system of direct fuel injection. This system avoidsthe use of high pressure injection and also effects a re-duction in weight, an improvement in mechanical efficiencyand increased simplicity and reliability. The fuel is in-jected into the various cylinders through a distributor bva single acting plunger type pump. All parts of the cylinders, cylinder heads and com-bustion chanil>ers are water cooled. The water from thewater jackets passes to a radiator located on the roof anda thermostat maintains an even temperature irrespectiveof weather conditions. The muffler for reduc
