there was some time lost by ''green block. I"
One mile was made In 50 seconds aud another
In SO seconds, and throughout the trip the
piece OF mechanism, and although finished
very plainly, is well pfoport1oned and pretty as
picture. There are many changes from the
usual engine in this one. The eldeayor has
been to put all weight as low down as possible.
The whistle is On top Of the cab, the engines
reverse lever is worked by steam. and the sand
box, instead Of being near the dome, is In the
sheath1ng covering the driving wheel A
modoc looks like q pigmy alongside of this
monster. 1t Will be kept at Altoona for q few
days and run on regular trains until Its
