Book excerpt: Excerpt from Principles of Locomotive Operation and Train Control Theory is, in the main, our safest guide to trustworthy results. How true this was in the adeption of superheated steam for locomotives! Before its application, theory anticipated to a nicety the results which later were obtained in operation. This applies also to the practical applications of speed-time curves, as set forth in this volume. However, theory alone has its limitations and the locomotive testing plant has done much to stimulate new interest in the study of locomotive performance.
