Big Diesel Order Will Swell Fleet by 261 New Units the Central Has Placed Orders for 261 More Units of Diesel-Electric Motive Power to Cost Approximately $35,000,000 Big Diesel Order Will Swell Fleet By 261 New Units The Central has placed orders for 261 more units of Diesel-electric motive power to cost approximately $35,000,000. Of the total, 237 units are for New York Central service and 24 for the affiliated Pittsburgh & Lake Erie Rail• road. The order consists of 64 road freight units, two road passenger units, 148 yard switchers, 47 road switchers. Delivery of the new locomotives is expected to begin in the second quarter of next year and to be completed early in 1953. They will increase the Diesel- electric ownership of the New York Central and affiliates to 1,915 units with a total of 2,446,100 horsepower. The locomotives will be constructed by the Electro-Motive Division of Gen• eral Motors Corp.; the American Loco• motive Co.; Fairbanks, Morse & Co.; and Baldwin-Lima-Hamilton Corp.

Voting is the most effective way to voice your opinion and probably the easiest way to take part in an organi­ zation. We should have election results in the next issue of the HOTBOX. I would like to congratulate the Southern Region on a job well done. Tom Barrett, Brian Brush, Brandon Fussell, Scott Gill and Bobby Mclaughlin put together a rather nice looking SOUTHERN CRESCENT. Besides being enjoyable to read, I especially liked the amount of cooperation that must have gone into the CRESCENT. I feel that you can get a lot more accomplished as a group, and it is probably more fun than working alone. The TAMR's Western Region has also come back to life. Region Representative Jonathan Kostenko has printed his first issue of the DAYLIGHT.

  • CHANGING TRAINS in COLUMBUS by John Anderson Carnahan
    CHANGING TRAINS IN COLUMBUS By John Anderson Carnahan In our constant quest to improve our lot, we Americans sometimes manage to cast out the baby with the bathwater. So has it been with the way we travel. Most of our passenger trains are gone, victims of our national haste to make haste. Today, for the sake of celerity, we routinely submit to being stuffed into oversized toothpaste tubes and hurtled through the atmosphere, knees-to-chest, munching on stale pretzels, trying in vain to spot something of interest out the window or in the bland décor of a Boeing 767. We have sacrificed civility to speed. I now and then feel this sacrifice with pangs of slight sadness and nostalgia because I am old enough to recall how it was to travel by train and because I am fortunate enough to have experienced, when I was young, the essential grace and leisure of that civilized form of locomotion. No doubt there are those of my vintage who would remind me that traveling by train was not always a fun trip. There were, to be sure, delays, missed connections, the surly ticket clerk eyeing you suspiciously from his brass cage, grumpy conductors, and occasional irate passengers. And, truth be told, steam engines, although marvelous creatures, did generate soot and steam and grime. Furthermore, even the great streamliners took valuable time to get from one point to another. In 1945, for example, a New York-bound Columbus traveler could depart the old Union Station on North High Street at 6:20 PM aboard the New York Central’s Ohio State Limited and arrive in Grand Central at 9 the following morning.
