New Power for the Lehigh Valley Pacific Type and 2-10-2 Type Locomotives of LargeTractive Effort for Fast and Slow Freight Service THE Lehigh Valley has reduced its train-miles in freightservice on the Wyoming and Seneca divisions by theaddition of 30 Powerful Pacific txpe locomotives andforty 2-10-2 type locomotives, built by the Baldwin Locomo-tive Works. The Pacific type locomotives are used in fast freight servicebetween Manchester, N. Y., and Coxton, Pa., which is nearPittston, a distance of 175 miles. They haul 50 loaded cars,both eastbound and westbound, and make the run in 5/2hours. By the use of these locomotives two fast freight trainswhich were previously hauled by heavy 10-wheel locomotiveshaving a tractive effort of o 1,000 lb., have been Co-xton to Summit, N. Y., about 120 miles, there is u respects the latest design of the Lehigh \alley Mikado loco-motives, 20 of which were built in 1916. The 2-10-2 t)-pe locomotives are
