Text Appearing Before Image: ger locomotives, rated at approximately 3000 horse-power each, which will be required for handling passen-ger trains of the New York Central and other roads inand out of this terminal. The design of this locomotive and Western Railway. This company has announcedthat the 3000-volt system will be used for the electrifica-tion of the Hoboken Terminal and Suburban zone, forwhich equipment will be in order during the comingyear. The selection of this system will permit extensionof the electric zone over the main line to Scranton withoutchange of trolley voltage. Another notable electrification has been completed dur-ing the year by the so-called Narrow Gauge—the Bos-ton. Revere Beach and Lynn Railroad. This road has beenan important passenger line for many years. It has beenelectrified to improve equipment, make faster schedulesand thus further increase the possible business. Thesteam locomotives have been replaced by electric motorcars, operated in trains of from two to eight cars each. Text Appearing After Image: Baldwin-Westinghouse Electric Locomotive on the Great Northern Railway includes two three-axle driving trucks, with six twin gearedmotors and a two axle guiding truck at each end of theunit. These locomotives will be capable of handling 1275-ton trains over the electric zone at an unusually highschedule speed. Two substations will be used for direct current powersupply, one containing three 3000-kilowatt synchronousmotor-generator sets and the other containing two simi-lar sets. Power will be purchased from the local powercompany. While the work being done at present is strict-ly a terminal electrification, the system selected will per-mit further extensions on the main line of the New YorkCentral at the same trolley voltage. An important decision was made recently regardingthe selection of a system- by the Delaware, Lackawana The existing passenger coaches have been equipped withmotor and control equipment, new lighting and heating,and are modern in every respect. A total of 60 cars
