These 125-foot, 6,000-horsepower, 4-8-8-2 wheel arrangement, single expansion articulated engines, distinctive of this railroad, have an enclosed cab that puts enginemen right up front so they can see more easily what's around a curve. Smokestack at other end from cab could give the illusion of backward operation to one not familiar with this type locomotive...

Before Hollinger can move a ton of ore, it must build a railroad to the St. Lawrence at Seven Islands, where it is ice-free about ten months out of the year. The survey for the 360-mile rail line ($100 million to build and equip) will be finished next year. The line will take three years to complete. Hollinger already has an eye on Eaton Canyon's 350-ft, waterfall, with its 500,000 h.p. potential, for a power source. Production in Ungava is probably five years away, and some $200 million will be poured into it before...
Last week TV was busy traveling by rail, highway and air. The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, on a run from Washington to Jersey City, took along an observation carload of reporters to witness the first use of a TV set on a train.

Biggest problem was the antenna. Because of the low clearances allowed by trestles, tunnels and overpasses, the antenna could rise only 15¾ inches above...

The last train from Boston that makes connections with the 10:45 leaves at 12:45 a.m. tomorrow, which will allow you to catch Sarah Vaughn here tonight...
