freight. but they are the first railroad in Arkansas to employ the passenger superheated engine. 1t is believed by railroad men that other roads will follow suit and buy the superhoated engines, thus improving passenger facilities in Arkansas within a year.
 Is Improved Method.
 Superheating, it is said. is an inn proved process for heating steam and giving it the full value of it's strength Under the old system, or the saturated steam system employed on most loco motives. steam loses 11 per cent of it's power by cooling. By the improved method an engine is able to pull al most twice as many cars as formerly. It is said that freight engine of the old type, able to pull 40 cars, is able to pull 75 cars under the superheated process. Eighteen superheated freight engines in use by the Cotton Belt last year were so successful that they have decided to use the improved method for handling passenger trains The road officials say that it is just one step to improve the passenger service on the Belt through Arkansas
