The power plant is located on the main line of the electric division ofthe road between Atlantic City and Philadelphia, at Westfield, 8 milessouth of Philadelphia. The station contains eight 358-h. p. Stirling boilers, with stokers. Generating equipment consists of four 2000-kilowatt, 6600-volt, 25-cycle, three-phase Curtis turbo-alternators. The energy is transmitted at 33,000 volts to eight 675-volt convertersubstations, located along the 75 miles of road, by 70 miles of duplicate33,000-volt transmission line. The capacity of these substations is 17,000 POWER PLANTS FOR RAILWAY TRAIN SERVICE 489 kilowatts. The loss between the station switchboard and the substationoutput varies from 20 to 24 per cent.
