Electric Locomotives * In dealing with the electric locomotive the question of the excess balancenecessary to counteract the reciprocating parts can be entirely neglected, and thesemachines, when properly constructed, would appear to have a more favorableaction on the track than is the case with a steam engine of the same capacity. The low center of gravity possessed by the earlier locomotives of this typeimposed, under certain conditions, a very severe duty on the rail, j In orderto bring out the facts experimentally, the Pennsylvania Railroad Company,who were about to design locomotives for their tunnel entrance into New YorkCity, constructed a spec
