Cards 23 W and 44 W were taken on anextra freight west bound, March 6, weighing 640 tons, consist-ing of 30 empty and 6 loaded cars, chiefly stock cars. Cards7 E and 5 E were taken on an east-bound extra freight onthe same day, the train weighing 341 tons, consisting of 10loaded cars.

It is interesting to note that, with the assumption that thehorse-power was the same on both sides of the engine, cardNo. 5 E gave a higner horse-power than any of the cardsshown in the record of the Northwestern type engine of theChicago & Northwestern given on page 335 of our Novembernumber of last year, although it does not follow that in eithercase the engines were doing all they could do. It is noteworthythat a locomotive has shown a capacity of 1,618 indicated horse-power at 60 miles per hour, and it is fair to assume that thispower can be sustained for some time, because in the 32 indi-cator cards constituting this record there is no indication offailure in keeping up the high boiler pressure.
