On account of the Baltimore city ordi- nence which prohibits the use of steam locomotives through the streets on the “block route,” the movement of freight ears over the so-called “block route” has been formerly accomplished by eight- horse teams. The Pennsylvania railroad ha# been the target of considerable com- plafit from business men because of the peraistent use of out-of-date and the slow horse methsd of hauling freéight cars. For | this reason they were anxious to see the “block route” in Baltimore covered by an yp-to-date and efficient motor tractor. The electric tractor was designed and | buflt especially for use in Baltimore by | the Pennsylvania Raliroad company in thefr shops In Altoona, Pa. Its charac- teristics are essentlally adapted for serv-| fce in Baltimore as regards elimination | of .molses and smoke, and providing a safer, more sightly, more efficlent and selft-contained form of motor power.
