Very few road engines with a weight of 200,000 11)S. ondriving wheels are running in regular road service. On page15 of the January number of tliis journal this design for the Santa Fe was Illustrated and a photograph has now beenreoeived and planed before our readers. This weight gives25,000 lbs. per driving wheel, which is raised considerably bythe traction increase in starting. This is a noteworthy designin that the boiler is almost exactly lll<e that of the heaviestlocomotive ever constructed. (See Amkrican Enoinebb, June,1902.) The photograph shows the disposition of the whistle,the air drums, ;ind also gives the location of the HEAVY COMPOUND FREIGHT —ATCHISON, TOPEKA & SANTA FE RAILWAY. 2 8 2 (MIKADO) TYPE, MAGNETS FOR HANDLING BOILER PLATE.
