Increased operating efficiency obtained in classification of freight trains in five freight yards on New York Central by use of Diesel electric switcher type locomotives equipped with electric trailers; converted from old electric locomotives, trailers have four motors connected in series with those on locomotive while pushing trains; arrangement provides enough weight on drivers and sufficient motor capacity to give sustained high tractive force at speeds of 2 to 4 mph.
