At a recent meeting of the New YorkRailroad Club, Mr. F. H.

In the absence of deter-mination from service which may he di-rectly comparable, the reasons may heclassed as somewhat theoretical. It wasunderstood that the weight on the drivingaxles, both as to amount and dispo(on the present engines) would not beaccepted for other engines for passengerservice, so that a departure from the de-sign of the locomotive at present in pas-senger service, was required. This couldhave been accomplished by the use ofmore driving wheels with smaller andlighter motors, or. again, by the use ofvery large motors with side rod-. Ser-vice conditions require a minimum oi -Is-driving axles, with a weight of 55,000 each. This can be very reasonably andeconomically met by twin motors withquill drive, and this construction poss
