THE BURLINGTON MONSTER
ENGINE.

1t Weighs 127 Tons and Is the Largest
Ever Built for Passenger Service.
Railroads. East and West, are not
competitive in their equipments in any
sense; but the monster locomotive OF
the Boston & Albany Railroad. which
recently took the palm from old 1893"
of the Empire State Express, must re-
Iinquish its place TO a western rival.
The Chicago. Burlington & Quincy
railroad has recently put into service
the two largest passenger engines ever
constructed. They Will be used on
the Denver Express and the fast mail
trains These new giants. numbered
1891 and 1892, weigh just one ton more
than the Massachusetts wonder. One
hundred and twenty-seven tons each,
Zoo pounds more than their eastern
rival.
Eastern railroads were in a nine
days wonderment over the Boston q
Albany's experiment When locomotive
~ Numbered out of Boston a few
weeks ago at a 70-mile sweep for
Springfield. the worlds record ID loco
motives was exceeded. Without any
spirit of competition and wholly with
in the scope of its needs, the Burling-
ton system has had to Guido the New
England line.
Compared with the Boston & Al
bany's No. 221. the BurlingtOn'S No.
1871 shows more marked characters
ties than are 70 be guessed from the
total weight-difference Of one ton. The
Alhany's engine weighs 126 tons. and
the BurlingtOn's 127 tons: the drivers
OF the one are six feet. two inches. and
OF the other feet and Il Of an inch:
NO. POI haUls a train weighing 80 tons
and No. 1881 pulls one weighing 81
tons; the compound cylinders of the
che are % by 81 inches and of the
other % by 26 inches: No. 221 carries
eight tons Of coal and 800 gallons of
water; No 1891 takes twelve tons of
coal and 5000 gallons of water; both
engines have the same steam pressure
of 900 pounds 10 the square inch.
This new mastOdOn OF the BuTling-
tons is the Atlantic type. Vauclain
compound engine. with two cylinders
high and low pressure-On each side.
It's boiler is fitted with 294 tubes, two
inches in diameter. and sixteen feet
long. Its giant drivers, two on a side
are about midway between the back
of the cab and the front of the pilot.
Just behind them is a trail-truck. with
two wheels five feet in diameter. Back
Of these are the regulation trucks sup
porting the tender. Each of the four
drive-wheels weighs 5000 pounds, and
makes about 240 revolutions to the
mile.
On its first trip with the Denver
flyer, No. 1891 pulled a solid vestibule
train of two mail cars. one composite
library and smoking car. two sleeping
cars, a dining car and two reclining
chair cars-a load sixty-one tons in
excess of that drawn by the eastern
engine. On this occasion No 1891 be-
hayed admirably. When her journals
are little smoother and when she has
found herself under the hand of her
new master, the BurlingtOn's record Of
ninety miles an hour with old $50 and

R. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review Of

April failures were the smallest
