  • Abstract
    FORTY-FIVE PER CENT of the total operating expense of a railroad is affected directly by the character of the motive power used. Consequently, very careful consideration should be given to the proper selection of this power. From a strictly engineering viewpoint, a locomotive should be purchased as a tool to fit the job.
