The great increase in capacity of mod-ern locomotives has brought problems inits train that affect not only the machinerydepartment which has to handle them andtheir repairs, but also the civil engineerwho has to provide suitable track andbridges to sustain them. As the powerdeveloped is increased, so also is theamount of water and coal required; sothat with a given spacing of water andcoal stations, the very large engines mustbe provided with tenders of much largercapacity than were formerly holding 3,000 to 4,000 gallons ofwater and coal space for 6 to 8 tons ofcoal will weigh, when fully loaded, from65,000 to 85,000 pounds, and are generally 4000 .awo Coal above Pitfrom Coal Board to Back Board / -/..

I notice Mr. Burke says the low-pres-sure cylinder gets full boiler pressurewhen the slide valve on the disabled high-pressure side is blocked clear ahead. Ifthat were so, I should hate to be firingthe way-car stove about the time he got oil used or not used is about as import-ant, compared with the coal pile, as is thequestion of t
