Klectric Locomotive for Steam Koadit.
There are signs that one of the most
startling revolutions of the century is
approaching, bteps are being taken in
the northwest toward the laying of an
experimental track on which many
points bearing on the substitution of
electric locomotives for steam locomo
tives on trunk lines will be determined,
and electrical engineers throughout the
country are on the qui vive for the next
developments. The tliree eighty ton
electric locomotives to be used in the
Belt line tunnel, Baltimore, will push a
freight train of 1,200 tons, including lo
comotive, through the tunnel, up an
eight-tenths of 1 per cent, grade, for a
distance of 6,000 feet, at the rate of fif
teen miles an hour, or a 500 ton passen
