Simple Freight Locomotive N. Y. C. & H. R. R. R. HE simple consolidation freight locomotivesrecently placed in service ^by the New YorkCentral & Hudson River Railroad and builtby the Schenectady Works of the American Locomotive Company, are among the heaviestengines built for fast freight service. Theyare designed to operate under 200 poundssteam pressure and burn bituminous their large drivers and free steamingcapacity their construction is such that they might beused successfully in heavy passenger service shouldemergency require the transportation department to make. such a demand. To aid circulation around the fireboxthe water space at mud ring is made 4^ inches wide andis an evidence of the current tendency towards provisionof ample space in this particular. The frames are strongand well braced, as shown by the detail view, Fig. casting at the front end which performs the doublefunction of brace and center pin guide for the truck, andthe casting forming the horizontal brace above the sec-ond axle, also supporting the transmission bar hangers,are light, yet well ribbed and strong. Expressed by the usual formula, these engines are cap-able of exerting a maximum tractive effort of 45,600 lbs.
