Twenty locomotives of the 4-6-2 type, using high degree supeiheated steam at 130 lbs. pressure, have recently been compli tedby the Baldwin Locomotive Works for the Great Northern Railway. These locomotives are among the heaviest and most powerfulever built and weigh 248,97c lbs. total, being exceeded in this re-gard only by the engines of this type on the New York CentralLines, which were illustrated on page 164 of the May. 1908, issueof this journal and the two on the Pennsylvania Lines, whichwere shown on page 267 of the July, 1907, issue. The GreatNorthern engines, however, are more powerful than either ofthese heavier examples, having a tractive effort of 3,5,400 lbs. ascompared with 29,200 and 30,700 lbs. respectively. This is thelargest tractive effort for a Pacific type locomotive on our rec-ords. The factor of adhesion, howe
