Two of the best known types of electric locomotive. The New York Central
type is 43 feet long, 14 feet 9-1/2 inches high, and weighs 230,000
pounds. It is equipped with four 550-horse-power motors and has a
maximum speed of 60 miles per hour. The Pennsylvania type is the latest
development. It is built in two halves for flexibility and either half
may be replaced during repairs. The complete unit weighs 157 tons, is 64
feet 11 inches long, and the motors have combined horse-power of 4,000,
giving a draw-bar pull of 79,200 pounds, and a speed of 60 miles per
hour.]
