ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVES FOR INDUSTRIAL HAULAGE. The advantages resulting from the use of electric locomotivesfor surface and industrial haulage are being generally is evidenced by the increasing demand for this class of loco-motive. The absence of smoke and cinders and of coaling andwatering stations, together with the comparatively small amountof attention required by electric locomotives, are only a few rea-sons for the success of this class of motor in light industrial service. The Baldwin Locomotive Works makes a specialty of buildingelectric locomotives for all classes of surface haulage, the electricalequipment being furnished by the Westinghouse Electric & Manu-facturing Company. These engines are frequently required tooperate under special conditions, and designs must be modified. Electric Industrial Locomotive—Narrow Gauge. accordingly. The electric locomotive can readily be adapted tooperate on lines where the clearance limits are restricted, or wherethere are few facilities for maintaining the power. The accompanying photographs illustrate two Baldwin-Wes:-inghouse locomotives recently built for industrial haulage. Thelocomotive for the Carpenter Steel Company is of the single-endmining type, with a cab at the operating end. As the track gaugeof this engine is only two feet, the frames are placed outside thewheels. The frames are supported directly on the journal boxes,through coiled springs. Four sand boxes are provided; they erecast in one piece with the frames and have spouts to all thewheels. The bumpers are of cast iron, with suitable draw equipment is provided, with brakeshoes on all tin-
