In accordance with the policy of the pres- ent management of the Baltimcre and Ohio Railroad Company to make every por- tion of the invested capital of the corpora- tion produce the best results, Receiver Mur- ray is having completed at Baltimore im- provements which when finished will make of Mount Clare one of the largest and best- equipped locomotive repair shop in the United States, if not in the world. To accomplish this the series of buildings known gs the nut and boiler shops are be- ing transformed into what will be one of the most extensive structures of the kind to be found anywhere. A few yeers ago when adversity came vpon the company, and there were dis- charges by the whoiesale from Mount Care. it was thought that the Baltimo and Ohio would never again be in a pos ton to manufgcture its own motive power, but a new era seems to have set in, when the new shops are ready for servi: it will necessitate the empioyment of hun- dreds of men who are now out of work. The dividing walls of the ghops meniion- ed are beng taken out, thf@wing the new structure into ore big house 4) feet long and seventy-two feet wide. Here it is pro- posed 10 build rew locomotives, remodel Old ones snd repair engines that have mci with serious m.shap on the road. ‘Tic monster iron horses will come in through large doors at the north end of the build- ing, there being three sets of tracks to ac- ccmmodate them. Beneath the floor are the pits, partiaily hidden from view, yet ¢ immense capacity and equ.pped most perfect drainage appiance: are also hidden storage pits, were the m: terial from dismantied locomotives will be placed and properly marked. Engine Repairing. This innovation will be a vast improve- ment over the methods now in use. At present, When one or more engines are being repaired, the stock is thrown care- lessly upon a pile, and when the time comes for their being put again into use much time and labor are lost in selecting the various pipes to fit the respective. en- gines, Another splendid feature of the new building will be the lighting facilities. in addition to the twenty or more windows ranging along each side, there will be a se- ries of skylights, nine feet in width, over- head, and running the entire length of che big shop. Probably the most interesting of the va- rious appliances to be used will be the giant crane, that is being so construc as to be easily moved: from one end of building to the other. The monster ca: riage will have a carrying capacity of nearly three hundred tons, and the suppo- sition at present is that it w.il be operated by electricity, the current in ail probability to come from the Beit Line power house. The crane will be so arranged as to make it. easily possible for it to litt a sixty or eighty-ton locomotive as if it were a mere babe, and carry it from one side of the shop to the other, setting it down gently upon one of the steel rait apartments Work upon, the building is bemg pushed with as much Viger as the present weather will permit. The interior addiuons of any magnitude do not depend upon the walis for any support, as substanual piliars for them are sunk into firm foundations of masonry, and the cverhead connections are stanch iron girders. While it may be many years before the Baltimore and Ohio will begin again build- ing its own locomotives, yet there will be every detail for this purpose put into the building, so as to be reacy for instant use when the time comes. In the beginning the new shops will be used mere tor the repair and remodeling of engines, and this in aself wil give employment to a jarge force of men. Electrical buprovements: The electrical department of the Balu- more and UVhio company is now growing at a very rapid rate, and the public has but a slight idea of the various plants. At differ- ent points along the line additions are be- ing made to the power and lighting plants. These improvements are being made with great care, and it Is expected that the re- sults will be of a very beneiicial character. At the Baltimore Belt Line power house, which is located at the south end of the uurnel, and but a short distance from Cam- den station, important improvements are being rapidly pushed to completion. The foundation is now being built for a 6#- herse-power plant for a Gréene-Corliss en- gine, direct coupled to a general electric 500 kalowatt proof generator. This is the fifth engine of this type to be erected in this power house, and will add greatly to the power plant. It will be used in puiling the trains through the tunnel as well as in the general power work of the stat.on. It will be remembered, as has heretofore been stated in The Star, that in addition to furnishing the power for the tunnel mo- tors, this plant also operates nearly 200 street cars of the Baltimore Traction Com- pany, and also several small motors that are used by the railroad company in switching cars at ferry slips. The total horse-power of the power piant will be 3,- 150 when the new engine is installed, and it is expected that it will be in working order in a couple of weeks. In the lighting plant, which is in the same station with the pow. er plant, there is being erected a 260 horse- pcwer Armington-Sims engine delt-coupled to one 150 kilowatts alternating general electric generator. Lighting Plant. The management is ulso replacing two 12 degree kilowatts alternating generators by two 150 kilowatts general electric gen- erators. The lighting plant now has a horse-power of 1,150 and furnishes the cur- rent for the light at Locust Point, all the Baltimore yards, Camden station and num- erous ferry slips and freight houses, be- sides lighting the tunnel and the Mount Royal passenger station There has just been installed in this plant a Van Bressof oiling system at a cost of about $3,600, by which all bearings on the engines and dynamos are automatically lu- bricated, saving the expense of six men. In the boiler room there has been erected a G. W. Hunt coal and ash conveying ap- paratus, which takes the coal ftom the dump to an overhead bin, from which it is to load, immediately in front of the fur- nace doors, thus facilitating very greatly the work of the firemen. The same buckets which handle the coal are also arranged in such a way as to convey the ashes to the bin outside the boiler room, where they are deposited automatically. A repair shop for which the machinery has been ordered will be fitted up in one end of the power house. The equipment will consist of one field winding lathe, one engine lathe and drill press, several high speed lathes, and the necessary testing machines, &c. Improvements are also being made at the following stations: At Zanesville, where the thirty-are plant is to be increased to sev- enty-five; at eee ware tears ae be erected a ig station enty- five erc ity to lght the stations, yards, piers, warehouses and platforms; at Benwood the lighting station will be made of sufficient power to light all the yards and shops at that point and also the com- pany’s property at Bellaire and Wheeling, @ total of about 100 arc lights; at Newark the plant, which hes a capacity of thirty are lights, will be increased to fifty; at Cumberland the plant will be increased 50 per cent, and at Brunswick a large number “will be added to the present “don’t wear that hat to the opera.” . “Why not?
