Adhesion and Rack Locomotive for Sumatra Interesting Design of 0-10-0 Type Superheater Four-Cvlinder Compound Locomotive for Dutch State Railways By S. Abt THE DUTCH STATE railways on the west coast ofSumatra operate about 152 miles of line of 3 ft. 6 with about 70 locomotives. From Padang, theLL-rminal of this line, to Fort de Kock and to the coal fields of they were delivered are shown in the table given below. The bulk of these locomotives were constructed by theEsslingen ^Machine Works. The new design of locomotive shown in Fig. 1, is of the Ombilia there are some ver\- heavv grades. Portions of this 0-10-0 type and was built by the Swiss Locomotive and. ot 0-10-2 Type line are provided with a rack bar of the Riggenbach grades on the adhesion track vary from per cent to amaximum of per cent, anrl on the rark portion of the linefrom per cent to per cent, the total length of the rackline Ijeing miles. The radius of the sharpest this irart of the line about 500 ft. Six types of locomotives have been built up to the presenttime for service on the mix<fi track.
