Based on experience, it is shown that electric locomotives can be kept in service greater percentage of time than can steam locomotives, as availability figure still is about 98.5 per cent after 16 years of service; though operating conditions are severe locomotives have not required general overhauling; elaborate inspection and shop facilities have been unavailable; detailed data of operation, computation of availability, road profile, etc., are given.
