Abstract
Gasoline and Diesel electric equipment used for motive power on rail cars and locomotives is considered in this paper. The more important problems such as the securing of a suitable method of drive for Diesel electric locomotives are considered especially for heavy railway work. A comparison of Diesel electric with steam and with electric locomotives is given, and possible future developments are indicated.
