A.R.R. Displays New
Diesel Streamliners
Seward residents Saturday be
tween 10 a.m. and noon will have
a chance to see and inspect two
of The Alaska Railroad’s new
1500 horsepower diesel stream
liner engines which will be put
in the Seward freight service
next Monday.
The new engines, the 1502 and
the 1503, will operate at about
one third the cost of steam en
gines and in addition they can
be in service about 28 out of
every 30 days, while steam loco
motives are in the shop approxi
mately fifty per cent of the time.
The engines are the same as
super units used in the States,
but for Alaska heat units have
been added so that parafine will
not solidify in the fuel oil. Fuel
oil storage lias also been increas
ed for the long runs on The Alas
ka Railroad
Everyone is invited and urged
by T. H. Jones, General Agent,
to come down to the Seward
railroad station for a look at the
new motive power for the line.
