ATLANTIC TYPE
LOCOMOTIVES
: No. 20 Last Evening-A Very Unc-
sual Sight at the Station.

When No. 20, the fast mail from
st. Louis to New; York, steamed into
the station last evening it was drawn
by two of the large Atlantic types Of
locomotives, which have lately APP
peared and created such revolution
in the railroad world. This is the
first time that two of these enormous
engines have ever drawn one train
through here, one generally being
sufficient to pull even the heaviest
trains of twelve and more coaches.
The Pennsylvania, B. & Q. and sew
eral other large trunk lines have late
ly adopted these engines which are
standing every test. Although the To-
comotives are the largest seen in this
part of the country their graceful
lines give them a not unwieldy ap-
tpearance.
