Some of the lines which are today using this sub-bitumin-ous fuel are using it on the same engines that at other times burnbituminous coal. It is possible that it may sometimes be foundof sufficient advantage to build all the locomotives which are tobe fired with the lower grade fuels with special reference to ob-taining the best results from them. The probability of a marked increase in the use of the truelignites in the near future is believed to be not great. The pres-ent undeveloped condition of the parts of the country in whichthe lignites are found, their low heating value, and the avail-ability of the better sub-bituminous coals are all factors that willcheck the increased use of lignitic coals for steaming, and par-ticularly for locomotive purposes.
