Dunn, Superintendent of Motive Power. Baldwin Locomotive Works, Builders. Locomotive Works twenty-eight singleexpansion engines similar to the oneshown in our illustration. These en-gines are of the 4-6-2 or Prairie type,and they have been built in conformitywith the general practice of these com-panies regarding the interchangeabilityof parts, in order to have them conformas far as possible to the standardsadopted by the Harriman AssociatedJLines. The cylinders are 22x28 ins., and thevalves are of the piston type, driven byindirect gear. The driving wheels are77 ins. in diameter, and the main driversare the center pair. The eccentrics are onthis axle, and a transmission bar is madeViith an inverted U-shaped curve andspacing ferrule, and is carried round thefront driving axle and thus joins thelink block to the rocker.
