railroad shops, and which has the distinction
of being che largest in the world yesterday
afternoon made trial trip to the American
river bridge. Superintendent J. B. Wright
and j. w. Clarke, foreman of the round
house, went along to see how the engine
worked, and engineer Harrington, with a
number OF assistants, was In charge. They
were all highly pleased, and pronounced the
trial a perfect success. Notwithstanding her
great size, the engine took the curves easily,
and her movements were as smooth as those
of any locomotive on the road. All the ma
chinery worked satisfactorily and appeared
to be in perfect order. Her appearance on
the track attracted much attention, especially
from railroad men, and the deep tones of her
large bell caused people along the line of the
road to run out and look, as though impressed
with the idea that church had broken loose,
or that steamboat was coming round look
ing for water.
