A very interesting paper on AmericanLocomotive Terminals was recently readby Mr. William Forsyth before theAmerican Society of Mechanical Engi-neers at the July meeting at Atlantic City.Among other things he said: The most interesting example ofAmerican engine house practice is thatin the classification yards of the Pennsyl-vania Railroad at East Altoona, Pa. Herethe traffic from three divisions of theroad is concentrated, classified and de-spatched. The freight tonnage passingthrough this terminal is claimed to be thelargest handled by any single system offreight yards in the world. The totalcapacity of the yards is 10,500 cars. The engine house is in diameter andcross-section the largest structure evererected for this purpose. It has an exte-rior diameter of 395 ft. and a turntableof 100 ft. There are 5.; stalls 9
