The superheater flues are •electrically welded into the back tube sheet. The tender is carried on equalized pedestal trucks, andhas a frame composed of 12-in. logitudinal channels, withwhite oak bumpers. The coal and water capacity are 12tons and gallons respectively. The Santa Fe type locomotives are replacing Mikados, alarge number of which have been built for the Southern. Mountain Type Locomotive for Passenger Service—Southern Railway able limits. This means added safety in operation, andeconomy in the maintenance of track and equipment. The four pairs of driving-wheels are equalized with therear truck by a continuous equalization system on each four-wheeled front truck is of the Economy constantresistance tvpe. Long driving-boxes are used on the second,or main, pair of driving-wheels, and flanged tires are usedthroughout. Sufficient lateral play is allowed to permitthe locomotives to traverse curves of 20 deg. Flange oilersare applied to the leading drivers. The main frames are vanadium steel castings of mostsubstantial , as they have a width of 6 in. anda depth over the pedestals of in. The pedestal bindersare of iron, and are held in place by three bolts at each Commonwealth rear frame cradle is applied.
