If satisfactory internal-combustion locomotive using oil for fuel can be developed for all classes of service, overall thermal efficiency can be increased from present 5 or 6 per cent of steam, to 25 per cent; internal-combustion locomotive shows immediate saving in fuel burned, roughly in proportion to its thermal efficiency; oil-electric locomotives require much less roundhouse and shop capacity.
