Quick-what's it pulling, boxcars or berths?
Even a railroad man couldn't tell- until he sees more than the locomotive.For this particular locomotive-built by American Locomotive and General Electric for the New Haven-is the product of an important development.You see, for years the railroads have had to bear the terrific expense of buying and maintaining diferent types of locomotives for freight and passenger service. But today-as a result of American Locomotive's hundred years of experience in railroading -this problem has been licked. Locomotives are now being built that are interchangeable-that can haul fast freight trains one dayand crack passenger trains the next. And they may be Diesel-electric or steam or any modification of either type. It doesn't matter whether they use oil or coal -the important thing is economy of performance.This development means big savings for the rail- roads, because it helps reduce the number of locomotives a railroad must buy and maintain. And that's important to you. For it is out of a railroad's savings that improvements in service can be offered.This is just one of many developments that will contribute to finer postwar railroading. And it is significant that it comes from the Company that gave America its first Diesel locomotive, built the world'slargest steam locomotive, and has supplied an important share of the locomotives being used for war purposes by the United Nations.American Locomotive
