Capacity 50 automobiles. First Diesel Electric Ferries in New York Harbor FLEET of six Diesel Electric Ferries has . just been put in service between West 23rd Street, Manhattan and Weehawken, N. J. These vessels are the first of their type in New York — capacity 50 automobiles, no foot passengers carried. Each ferry is powered with two 350 B. H. P. Nelseco Diesel Engines of the latest mechanical injection type. These engines are similar in design to the 24 Nelseco Diesels recently ordered by the Southern Pacific Railroad Company for use in ferry boats on San Francisco Bay. Nelseco Diesel Engine of latest mechanical injection type, 350 B. H. P. at 280 R. P. M., Type 6MI-18. You should ride on and inspect these new Diesel ferries for they are as radical a change from steam- propelled vessels as the first steam trains were over horse-drawn coaches. You will be impressed with the smooth flow of power and the positive engine control just as the owners are impressed with the lower operating costs and the decreased personnel. Nelseco engineers will gladly arrange an inspection trip and give you astonishing figures on the low operating cost of Diesel Engines for marine service. Write for Pamphlet MR.
