Recent development in locomotive history has been effected by German State Railways, who have constructed 1200-hp. Diesel-engined locomotive employing compressed-air drive; air pressure of 103 lb. per sq. in., heated by exhaust of Diesel, and then actuates normal locomotive cylinders; comparison with Diesel-electric drive; table giving operating coat; comparison of performance of Diesel-electric and steam locomotives.
