Why then hasn't something been done to pfevent the yearly breakdown of train heating systems every time the temperature falls below zero? . j Amtrak has grand plans for winter-proo- f heating systems for its new passenger cars, which may be ordered soon. But delivery is or three winters in the future, and conversion of 'the old cars to electric heat probabiv will not begin for two years. i.And'no amount of good intention can help in More often than not. the heating breakdown by human andor mechanical efforts that have nothing to do with the heating system.

They are heated by steam, a holdover from the days when the locomotives were run by' steam. Steam was abundantly available from the huge boilers of those locomotives, and it was oply logical to use it. When motive power was changed from steam to diesel, railroads put a steam generator in the diesel units rather thar. change the method of heating on the cars. This was far less costly, and much easier. The Zephyr left Chicago, nice and warm, pulled by three diesel engines each with operating steam generators. Before the train reached the next division point. Galesburg. 111., one of the three diesels had broken down. In Galesburg, an employe mistakenly began filling the fuel tank of one of the other diesels with water, putting it out of business. diesel sat in the station. trying to generate enough steam to keep the train warm, it broke down. The train froze, and the passengers spent the night ir. the station. As the sole remaining There steam must be delivered through outside pipes from the locomotive to each passenger car and it contains water vapor that can freeze. The answer to the train heat problem simple but costly: Convert to electric heat. Under normal operation, even in weather, the steam pipes will stay hot enough to maintain heat. But let something go wrong Metroliners already are electrically heated, as w ill be all new passenger cars the corporation may purchase. Amtrak's New sub-zer- o is Y - HARRISBURG. Pa.
