And now the firemen are making oh
iections to the new class of battle
ship locomotives, because they say
they are obliged to learn the trade
over again. This m about through
the fact that there are two doors to
the fire box, and in feeding the fire il
is necessary for the fireman to shovel
10Th ways. rs one who has learned
only one way it is no small task to &C
quire the other. particularly since he
must do so while the locomotive is in
motion and there is everything t o an
noy him in his work. This class OF
motive power appears to be giving ex
cellent satisfaction as regards speed
and power, but it is probable it will
not reach it's limit until heavier track
is provided.
