Westinghouse electric locomotive touted to revolutionize rail power
The first of twenty five Westinghouse electric locomotives for the New York New Haven Hartford line completed at Pittsburgh shops tests ongoing at East Pittburg interworks railway. The engine, weighing 78 tons with four 400 horsepower motors, is claimed to outrun steam locomotives pulling 250 tons at 70 mph between New York and Boston. A new signagraph device for remote train control and safety is being explored by Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburgh, allowing dispatchers to stop trains up to 100 miles away and communicate with crews via storm proof interstation phones.
