as these crank aXles are liable to frac-

avoided them.
Between the era of the Dutch wag-
ems" and the mammoth locomotives of
to-day lie the classes of engines famil-

them are still to be found working on
every branch road. But the latest ex-
ample of engine building. as illus
trated by the ten-wheeled consolidated
passenger engines at present in use on
the b. & o. road, brings up such mag
nificent concentration of speed, strength
and endurance as were never before
seen in the history of the world. These
engines have six coupled wheels, six
feet six inches in diameter. cylinders
21x26 inches, and steam pressure of
ITO pounds to the square inch They
haul the Royal Blue line trains. and on
many occasions have gone mile in so

gines will advance at the almost in
