LIfiNITE MAY BE
USED FOR FUEL
Exhaustive Experiments as Locomo
tive Fuel to Be Made By Road
in Texas.
Houston, Texas, June 9.—Exhaus
tive experiments with lignite as loco
motive iuei are to be made by the
Southern Pacific, which if successful
will mean the revolution of the lignite
industry of Texas as well as a great
saving to the railroads. If the tests
are found satisfactory lignite will re
place coal on freight trains, oil being
used for fuel on passenger trains.
For the experiments the Southern
Pacific has built a massive locomotive,
termed the "Mikado" type. This loco
motive has been in operation on the
Oregon railroad and Navigation com
pany's lines developing the use of lig
nite and it is said the tests have been
successful. The quality of the Texas
lignite now will be tested in the same
locomotive in regular freight hauls.
The designs of the Mikado in gen
eral follows the lines of the Associat
with such alterations
introduced to meet the special de
mands of the lignite fuel. This is par
ticularly true of the boiler, which has
a deep fire box with a large grate and
a long smoke box witli a greater |
amount of netting area. |
Texas possesses
, e( j standards,
.
extensive lignite j
fields, but they are yet undeveloped J
because of the lack of demand for this j
fuel.
If the railroad experiments |
prove successful It will open an ave
, nue for the disposal of the fuel, which j
will cause extensive development of j
the fields.
