The first of the four big new engines
made a trial trip over the Delaware
railroad last week. The engine is a
mammoth one, so large that it cannot
be put in any of the company's round
houses. No. 147 can make the trip
from Delmar to Wilmington, almost
the entire length of the State, with
only one stop for water as the tank
holds 5000 gallons, and that STOP will
be made at Dover. She was built at
the Altoona shops for hauling fast
freight and has a capacity of 80 to 100
loaded cars. Assistant Foreman Of
Machinery W. H. Redmile had charge
of the big engine the first trip which
proved entirely satisfactory. The en-
CINE made remarkable time. Leaving
lust ahead of the Norfolk express pas
senger train, the engine was to draw
the train at its best speed, and to con
tinue unless stopped by orders, to Civ
the passenger train chance to pass
From Delmar to Harrington the engin
drew the heavy train faster than ez
press time, passing through Dove
fully fifteen minutes shead of the pai
senger train. 1t is claimed this is th
solution to the heavy traffic whic
keeps the yards at Delmar congeste
