LOCOMOTIVE ON TEST RUN
From Monday's Daily
A number of persons were at the
station at 9:10 this morning to see
the streamline locomotive, Aeolus,
make its test run with No. 6 from
Denver to Chicago. This is the first
of the streamline steam locomotives
to be used. It is the start of a pro
gram to ascertain the roles of steam
and Diesel-electric power in Amer
ican railroading in the future. The
name "Aeolus," given to thi3 engine,
means "keeper of the winds."
The locomotive is of the 4-6-4 type,
carries 250 lbs. steam pressure, and
uses coal for fuel. A streamlined shell
of stainless steel almost completely
encases both locomotive and tender.
The locomotive is said to be prac
tically vibrationles3 at 100 miles an
hour.
The now engine is capable of
speeds well over 100 miles an hour
and cruising speeds of 90 to 100
miles an hour can be continued al
most endlessly. It is expected to be
able to maintain the Zephy's 16
hour schedule over the 1,034 miles
between Chicago and Denver.
