There Is now quite rivalry, II is stated
between the Baldwin and the Schenectady
locomotive works as to new types of en-
gines Recently built. Schenectady locomo-

the latter are building for the Chicago,
Burlington e. Quincy are looked for with a
good deal of interest, as they are in many
respects different from the schenectady To-
comotive built for the Bic Four and the
Chicago & Northwestern, being something
of a mogul type, as behind the two pairs
OF large driving wheels there Is trailing
wheel. little smaller than the main driv-
ing wheel, and in front of the drivers but
one pair of wheels. The manner the weight
is divided Is among the more important
features of the Baldwin new locomotive.
While this is going on, the Pennsyivania
is building locomotive which. it is ex-
pected. will excel either the schenectady
or the Baldwin engine with heavy trains.
