Jo.-in A. Elison of Otkley, Ida., whil
coupled on to haul th train an3 th.
dead steam engine through tbe tunnel. In
quiry Into the cost of operating these elec
tric locomotives showed that they could
move so much faster, being smaller and
mor powerful, and could haul a large
train at such a remarkable speed that the
cost of operation waa really leas that ft
would be by steam. It is worthy of bis
turical note that the Baltimore A Ohio
first in tbs use of electricity a a motive
power, was alao the first railroad to use
a steam locomotive in this country. The
f tourbridge Lion." one of the two Eng
lish locomotives, was Imported to Una ooun
try. and used to haul trains en the Balti
more A Ohio, as early a UtlKl A year latex
the Albany coauectady railroad was
running.
In tn early oays of railroading oa the
Great Northern all the trains Lad to be
xrzagged over the Cascade mountains on
a "swiicn-oack.- it took three of the most
power: ul sieem locomotive to switch
seven passenger cars over the mountain
and the labor was aa nothing compared u,
lhe time it toaa ta get tne train over, for
time is so iciporbct In ail railroad ork.
To avoid this monumental task a huge tun
nel was bored through the mountain, about
