The electric locomotive belonging tothe N. Y. C, which was illustrated inthe December issue of Railway andLocomotive Engineering, is being sub-jected to still further tests and will becarefully watched by expert investigatorsfor a little while longer before practicalmen bid a tearful good-by to the steamlocomotive of our youth, as the non-technical press of this country seemready and even anxious to do. Wind resistance is being investigatedand the rolling friction of the machineitself is being looked into. The powernecessarv to drive it along the track in. SUBURBAN SERVICE, S-8-1 ENGINE FOR THE W.
