Engine 175, Brooks simple,4-6-0, cylinders 18 ins., with 24-in. stroke, 63-in. drivingwheels, steam pressure 180 pounds. The fireboxes ofall boilers are of the modified wide type for burningbituminous coal, with the exception of engine 175. During the tests the coal and water used were care-fully weighed. The same kind of coal was used on alllocomotives during the several runs, the coal being Illi-nois mine run. With regard to the corrected weight of coal used perthousand ton miles, a decided advantage is shown onthe part of engine 1051, being a gain of per cent asagainst engine 606; as against engine 601, and 35per cent as against engine 175.
