Atom Powered Trains On Way
The Association of American Railroads says atomic locomotives could become economical in the civilian sector once nuclear energy is available. In Chicago research centers, 55 major projects save about 100 million dollars yearly in operating costs, with overall gains in safety and efficiency. Diesel engines now handle about 80 percent of traffic, and new locomotive types include oil-fired gas turbines, coal-fired gas turbines, a coal-burning steam locomotive, and a new electric locomotive called the ignitron.
