Abstract :
The successful operation of the three 6,000-hp turbine-electric locomotives that were placed in service by the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway Company in 1948 has demonstrated the reliability and adaptability of this type of coal-burning locomotive. Several articles giving a general description of these locomotives have been published. It is the purpose of this paper to deal more particularly with the electric equipment used, its special requirements, and resulting performance.
