increase the speed of its trains, but
to increase efficiency and promote
economy in operation.
The new locomotives are of great
terest because they are the first to
be consthrcted for railroad service
with direct current motors designed to
carry as high a potential as 3,000
'volts. They weigh 260 tons each and
