Locomotives and Other Rolling Stock: American Locomotives
The paper on “American Locomotives,” read at the meeting of the International Engineering Congress in Chicago in 1893, was prepared by the late D avid L. Barnes, M. Am. Soc. C. E., and its title was “Distinctive Features and Advantages of American Locomotive Practice.” It related to a comparison of American locomotives, and their operation, with those in foreign countries, and, as the differences therein described exist largely at the present time, it will not be necessary in this paper to draw similar comparisons. Mr. Barnes paper gave the principal dimensions and characteristics of American locomotives at that time, and it is the writer's purpose now to show the progress that has been made in locomotive design in the eleven years since that time, and give some account of the present practice in locomotive operation.
