a Re © | Reading Railway Diesel Tug : Harold J. Taggert Engine Room Showing F-M Diesel Equipment eeting th demand of railroads Railroad tugs have become such a vital factor in handling the congested transportation on the Atlantic seaboard that eastern carriers have made special studies of this equipment. Leading roads have found that Fairbanks-Morse Research and Development have perfected a sim- ple, reliable type of Diesel that meets every demand for speed, maneuvering ability and high economy in railroad tug service. The latest addition to the railroad fleet is the new steel tug, Harold J. Taggert, owned by the Reading Railway. She is Fairbanks-Morse equipped through- out with a 6 cylinder 14’’x 17” Diesel Propulsion Engine with auxiliaries—an 18 kw. Diesel generat- ing and compressor set and 3’’ motor driven pump. The Harold J. Taggert displaced a steam tug of practically the same size and power with the result that one hour has been cut off the running time towing car floats between Pigeon Point, Delaware, and Thompson’s Point, New Jersey.
