36 locomotives only one, No. 270 (formerly Mo. 1 170), had 

 been stricken from the records as of December 1954. The 

 remaining 35 still perform routine passenger service between 

 New York and Harmon, and New York and North White 

 Plains. The numbers in the group now run from 247 to 282

 No. 270. 



With an operating weight of 292,600 pounds, the locomo- 

 tives of the T-3A class develop 1,908 horsepower continu- 

 ously, with a tractive force of 12,750 pounds, and they can 

 develop 2,488 horsepower for 1 hour, with a tractive force 

 of 18,440 pounds. The maximum speed of a T-3A is 75 miles 

 an hour. These locomotives operate on 660-volt direct cur- 

 rent, usually obtained from a third rail. The pantographs 

 are used only when crossing certain complicated crossover 

 switches. Each of the eight axles is driven by its individual 

 gearless motor. The overall wheelbase is 46 feet, 5 inches, 

 the overall length 56 feet, 10 inches.
