  • Abstract
    IN OCTOBER 1956 delivery began on an order of twelve 3,300-hp (horsepower) rectifier-type locomotives for The Virginian Railway Company. These locomotives mark the climax of 45 years of development since the first experimental mercury-arc rectifier locomotive was built, and represent the acceptance of this type of motive power for main-line railroad freight service.
