S E The Heaviest Locomotive Ever Built. The Illinois Central Railroad has now therecord locomotive as to total weight, and thel)uil(Iers of the engine, described here, believethat this marks the limit of weight, whichwill not be passed for some time. It is boldto predict what the locomotive of the futureis to be, particularly in regard to weight andpower. It is safe to say, however, that if thelimit of weight is now reached, that of poweris not and will not be until a numl)er of fruit-ful resources, now almost untouched, are ex-hausted. Great weight is, of course, neces-sary in securing high tractive power, and thatdesigning is best which furnishes the great-est amount of train-hauling capacity withthe least total weigh
