New York, March. 1927 No. 3 Baldwin Experimental Locomotive No. 60000 A Description and Test Results of the New High-Pressure Three-Cylinder Compound-Water Tuhe Firebox Feature of Design During the early part of 1920, the Baldwin Locomo-tive Works designed and built a new locomotive whichembraced many new and novel features in marked depar-ture from the conventional types of l<xromotives in gen-eral use. The locomotive was exhibited at the Mechanical Con-vention at Atlantic City in June, 1926. where it attracted tribution, and refinements in design and materials forlocomotive parts. At present much thought is being given to the possi-bility of using higher steam pressures and higher ratiosof expansion to give greater cylinder efficiency and con-sequently greater horse-power per unit of weight. The great advantage of high pressure steam is that. Three-Cylinder Experimental Compound Locomotive Built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works considerable of the attention of the railway and otherprominent engineers. A photographic view of the locomotive and a briefdescription appeared in the issue of Railway and Loco-motive Engineering for July, 1926. Since that time thelocomotive was in regular road service on the Pennsyl-vania Railroad and has been given an extended seriesof tests at the Altoona testing plant of the PennsylvaniaRailroad. The following is a more detailed descriptionof the design and construction of the locomotive as pre-sented by Paul T. Warner of the Baldwin LocomotiveWorks. Up to a certain period, development of locomotivedesign brought with it mainly an increase in weight ofindividual locomotives, the increase in power beng pro-portonate to the increase in weight. This increase inpower made possible notable economics
