Completes New Diesel-Electric Ferries ECORD time has been made on the construction of the Southern Pacific’s new fleet of Diesel-powered ferries. Six new vessels— Fresno, Stockton, Lake Tahoe, Santa Rosa, Mendocino and Red- wood Empire— have passed all trials and are now in regular service. This is indeed a noteworthy achievement both on the part of the builders and the companies that supplied the necessary materials and equipment. All of the power units used in these mam- moth ferries were furnished by the New London Ship & Engine Company. These included 24 Nelseco Diesels of the latest mechanical injection type— each vessel be- ing powered with 4 engines of 450 B. H.P. each. This order for 24 Nelseco engines, totaling 10,800 H. P., is the largest com- mercial contract for marine engines ever placed in this country. These new ferries are now being used in transporting automobiles across San Francisco bay ... from San Francisco to Oakland and from San Francisco to Sausalito. Three are being operated by the Southern Pacific Railroad and three by the Northwestern Pacific Railroad. Nelseco engineers will gladly tell you about other interesting installations and will furnish astonishing figures on the low operating cost of Nelseco Diesel Engines. Write for Pamphlet MR.
