There are two double acting piston pumps as well as a three-stage air injecting pump located between the main engine cyl- gine. When the locomotive is stopped or under service requir-ing but little air the compressor delivers its surplus to receiversplaced behind the main engine. Special pumps are provided forlubrication and there are hand-operated centrifugal pumps in-cluded on the locomotive for priming the cold water, circulatingwater and the fuel piping when needed. A Westinghouse brake equipment is used, there being shoes onall of the wheels. The air for braking is taken from an inter-mediate stage of the compressor and
