Locomotive number 10, q new engine
in pattern and material, made its APP
pearance on this division of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul road to-day. The
engine is different from others IN that 1t
has what is kaown es the inside connec-
ton, the cylinders being under the boiler
and the drive wheels connecting with the
piston rods on the inside under the
boiler. The drive wheels are five feet in
diameter, and the engine can be pushed
to q higher rate of speed than those OF
older patterns and hos as much power
to hsul heavy trains. Engineers however
regard the machine as dangerous in case
Of collisions or other accidents, as the
heavy boiler stands high In the air and
is liable to tip over easily. Number IL
is an excellent machine and the Milwau-
kee company must have q way up opin.
ion of this division to place such rolling
stock upon it.
