IIHHttOOCCOONOTIvES
-Four Machines Bigger Than
Two for Southern Pacific
Now Planned.

Now comes the report that the Bald
win Locomotive works are preparing to
discount the new record established BIZ
them in building tae two largest loco
motives ever consttuC ted, in filling the
orders for the two giant moguls for the
Southern Pacific. part culars concern
ing which were recently published in
The Herald.
One Of the Southern Pacific Iocomo-
tives has been completed and the other
is being made, and the Rs ldwin people
have already prepared tie plans for
four locomotives Tor the Atchison, To-
peka & Santa Fe road that will be 10
per cent greater weight than either Of
these two.
These stiH newer locomotives will
also have incorporated still other new
economic devices.
Regarding the new SOe-ton Iocomo-
tives just finished, the Philadelphia
North American tells of the first one
being exhibited in that city, and says:
With a sister machine about com
pleted, this monster locomotive is for
the Southern Pacific. The two loco
motives, one hauling and the other
pushing, will be used together in NOV
ing trains from Rosevine. Cal. I'D the
steep west slope grades to the summit
of the Sierra mountain range, a dis
lance of eighty-seven miles. Each will
do the work OF two of the largest loco
motives now in use.
These machines are Of the MaIlet
articulated type. The locomotive is
SS<ie& >SyESNGaSeS> Oeca0se me frame
is jOinted at mid-length, and the for
ward wheels thus constitute q truck,
which swings about the fulcrum pin,
when the locomotive is rounding a
curve. Thus, although the total wheel
base is long, fifty-six feet, the rigid
wheel base is comparatively short.
Each group of driving wheels is oper-
ated by a separate pair of cylinders
and these are arranged on the COM
pound system
The Mallet type was first introduced
on American railroads by the Baltimore
& Ohio I'm 1904 and has since fully
proved its value for heavy service on
lines having severe grades and curves.
These Southern Pacific locomotives
are carried on twenty wheels. four pairs
Of driving wheels in each group, with
a twO-wheeied truck front and back.
Each eXeTts a tTactive force of nearly
$4,000 pounds. The total weight of the
locomotive is approximately $50 GOO
pounds.
There is an Oil-buTning equipment,
and the boiler carries a steam pressure
OF 200 pounds per square inch.
AN interesting feature of this loco
motive is that it is separable. The
boiler is built in two parts, which are
bOlted together. BY removing the bolts
taking out the frame fulcrum pin and
disconnecting the longitudinal pipes
which are provided with unions, the To-
connective is readily separated into two
sections"
