Most large in-dustrial plants are provided with so-called industrial railways, thesebeing narrow-gauge tracks with light cars usually pushed by hand.These cars are used in transferring material of various kinds fromone part of the works to another, and are also used in such work asroad building, excavating, hauling of cement, pig iron, coal, ashes, etc. 409 6 SELF-PROPELLED RAILWAY CARS Fig. 5 shows a gasoline locomotive designed to haul ten loadedcars (tonnage 25), at a speed of eight to twelve miles an hour. Thelocomotive shown is a type built by the Ernst Wiener Co., New York.The engine of this locomotive is a four-cylinder, water-cooled, four- Note About Images Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original work.
