Y. Eight of these engines have beenin service for four months, and they are reported to be givingvery satisfactory results. They are the heaviest passenger stroke, these dimensions and the weight being in accordancewith the ideas of Mr. J. J. Hill, President of the road. Ingeneral, the details are in accordance with the practiceof these builders, and by comparison with the details of the. o Q. rt £o locomotives ever built and a comparison with the dimensionsand weight of the engines of the same type of the SouthernRailway, illustrated in our issue of March 1898, page 82, willbe interesting. The total weight of the Southern engine is158,000 pounds, and the weight on drivers Is 121,250 pounds,while the corresponding weights of the Great Northern designare 166,000 pounds and 129,500 cylinders are 20 inches in diameter by 30 inches
