other that of 5000" There is a differ
ence of 40 years in the ages of those tw
, machines; the first was built in 1888!
and the other in 1875; and the differ
ence in age is not greater than that {
; their G neral appearance. The tendt
! of No. 800 is greater than the entire ell
CINE bearing the number 6. The oil
engine has an upright boiler, and I'll
cylinders are in the same position. III
power is conveyed to the whole by
sort of walking-beam with vertical rod'
and there is a bewildering lot of cranl
: and rods, in strange contrast to the sin
. plicity Of the locomotive Of the presel
/, day. The engineer had a very limite
space for moving about, and hard
enough for standing-room.
