For passenger service on this roadthe Baldwin Locomotive Works haverecently built three Pacific type loco-motives, one of which we are able toshow in our illustration. These en-gines exert a tractive force of , and use moderately superheatedsteam at comparatively low their ample boiler capacity, largecylinders and medium-sized drivingwheels, they are well adapted to moun-tain service. The boiler is designed for a pressureof 180 lbs., but in service the safetyvalves are set at 155 lbs. The shell iscomposed of three rings, which havelongitudinal seams on the top centerline, and are welded at the ends. Theoutside firebox shell slopes towardsthe rear, so that while the side waterlegs are inclined slightly outward atthe front they are vertical at the firebox is radially stayed, with onerow of inverted T-bar, hung on expansionlinks, supporting the front end of thecrown sheet.
