The following facts and figures weregleaned from the Interstate CommerceCommissions recent report: On June 30, 1902, there were 41,228locomotives in the service of the rail-ways, which was 1,644 more than were inuse in 1901. Of the total number of lo-comotives, 10,318 are classed as passen-ger locomotives, 23,594 as freight loco-motives, 6,683 as switching locomotives,the remainder, 633, not being classified. — ■-•.^-*.
