A few of the military locomotives for
the United States railroad in France
awaiting "knockdown" and boxing into
nineteen great crates for each engine
have recently been put in temporary
emergency service to help relieve the
great freight congestion in the north
east Folk around about New York and

initials upon their tenders.
They are not large engines or heavy
as we view locomotives They are of
the so-called consolidation type and of
a size which American railroads out
grew more than a dozen years ago
Each weight, without the tender, about
166, 900 pounds. That they are not
heavier is due not only to the limita-
tions of the "clearances" of the French
tunnels and bridges, but also to the
fact that the railroads of our ally are
built with a ruling grade of l per cent
or 52.S feet to the mile.
This oddly enough, is the grade
which the builders of our earliest rail
roads in the west adopted. But in re-
cent years ruling grades of from but
one third to one-half per cent have
been our maximum in good construc-
ton, permitting the use of the heaviest
