ate! The general design elevated railroad between these two points and building a pas-senger car storage yard east of the Schuylkill River. As thepresent car yard is a mile away from Broad Street Station, ithas been found difficult to handle the shifting of trains neces-sary to haul some 21,000,000 people—the number arriving anddeparting in 1909 on 194,368 trains. The new car yard between20th and 23rd streets will accommodate sixty cars, or about ninesuburban trains, and will be equipped with a 70-foot turn-table,which will eliminate the sending of all locomotives to the WestPhiladelphia yard for turning. To complete the yard will neces-sitate the building of retaining walls and embankments, the ex-tension of the arch bridges over 21st and 22nd streets, and theconstruction of two new bridges across the Schuylkill river. Itis expected that the entire work will be completed by Decemberist at a cost of approximately $750,000. 372 AMERICAN ENGINEER AND RAILROAD JOURNAL. September, 1910.

With thisin view, a patent has recently been applied for by Frank H.Adams, engineer shop extension of the Santa Fe at Topeka,Kansas, covering an interesting and special design of motordriven turntable for this large class of power, thus solving oneof the annoying problems of turning without disconnecting thetenders from the locomotives. It is well known that railroads for jears have turned theirlocomotives and rolling stock on turntables centrally supportedand having end supports to temporarily take the load while thelocomotive or car is being moved to a balanced position on theturntable, the latter being revolved either by hand throug
