R. B. BALANCED COMPOUND ATLANTIC TYPE LOCOMO-TIVE. Union Pacific Railroad. The Baldwin Locomotive Works has recently delivered tothe Union Pacific Railroad a balanced compound Atlantictype locomotive which embodies, as far as possible, the de-tails adopted last year by the Harriman Lines as commonstandard for single expansion locomotives.
