Abstract
The paper deals with modern condensing locomotives both of the reciprocating and turbine types. The authors emphasize that such locomotives have recently been built in order to attain one of two mutually incompatible objects, namely, either the achievement of a very high efficiency in temperate climates, or the building of locomotives which lose no water for hot, waterless countries. The first object is best attained by use of a turbine with high vacuum, while the second is most readily achieved with a reciprocating engine having no vacuum at all. The latter has the advantage over Diesel locomotives in that any kind of fuel can be used.
