BURLINGTON'S MONSTER EN-

II Is the Largest Evcr Euilt for
Passenger Service.


Railroads, East and West, are not
competitive In their equipments In any
sense; but the monster locomotive OF
the Boston and Albany Railroad, which
recently took the palm from old "099'
of the Empire State express, must re-
linquish its place to a Western rival.
The Chicago, Burlington and 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, nuinbert d

The ordinary way of handing a man
