T LOCOMOTIVE FUEL PERFORMANCE RECORDS From Wce of Fuel Agent HE third month of the special summer fuel drive has just been completed and the results are very gratifying indeed, since during the month of August we made a decrease in freight service of 7.45 per cent in unit fuel consumption as compared with the month of August. 1928. The month of August ended with the same performance as we had in July, or 149 pounds per 1,000 gross ton miles. We had hoped to get below the July co~~sumption bur even in holding our own we did better than August compared to July last year when the perforn~ance went up 2 pounds. All the divisions, with the exception of one, made a reduction in fuel performance in freight service during. August, the decreases ranging from 2.05 per cent to 17.33 per cent. the Southwestern and Western divisions having the largest decreases of 17.33 per' cent and 12.57 per cent respectively. In passenger service there was a slight increase in the pounds per gassenger car mile August this yea1 over August last year. the increase being .3 of a pound per passenger car mile, the average cars per train decreasing from 6.96 to 6.90, the Western division making the best comparative performance, decreasing from 19.6 pounds per passenger car mile August. 1928, to 18.4 pounds per gassenger car mile in August. 1929. or 6.12 per cent. In switch service the pounds per switeh locomotive mile for the system was 132 as compared to 127 pounds in August, 1928. or an increase of 3.94 per cent. This is the same ratio of increase which we had ill July this year as compared to July last year. However, there were some divisions which made a very nice ~howing in switch service, the River division particularly with a performance of 102 pounds per switch locomotive mile this year as compared to 150 pounds August last year. a decrease of 21.5 per cent. The Southwestern division also had a nice decrease from 115 pounds August last year to 103 pounds August this year or 10.43 per cent. Believe it is safe to say that the drive for the past few months in @el consumption has been directed more towards securing a reduction of fuel consumption in freight service than passenger and switch, which is certainly reflected in the showing of the three classes of service. This is mentioned merely to 5110~ there is considerable room for lur- ther redudtion, particularly in the passenger and switch services. if everyone gets in behind these two services as they have been behind the freight service, not letting np of course on the latter. Shown below are a few of the! trips on which good performances were made, all of which helped to make the good showing in August. This should not be construed as meaning that the following runs were the only good runs during the month nor in every case are they the best. hot they are the best performances which have been called to our atten- tion and whenever there is a particularly good performance made thc information would be appreciated I),? the Fuel Agent's office in order that it can he pl~blished in the following month's issue of the Mogazirre.
