It is of importance to observe that theapplication of superheaters to a numberof switching locomotives recently built,marks an interesting step in the develop-ment of this class of engine. It is foundin practice, that the advantages resulting upon the boiler, is of assistance in sup-pressing smoke—an important advantagein yard work. The accompanying illustrations repre-sent two designs of superheater switchingloccimotives recently built bv the Baldwin of 23,400 pounds. 1 he boiler has astraight top, with a long placedabove the frames.
