A similar device was applied tothe heavy Consolidation type locomotives ,for the Western Maryland Railway, whichwere built early in 1921 by the BaldwinLocomotive Works. These locomotives were urgently neededand were built in a remarkably short spaceof time, as the order was received on May23, 1921, and the last of the eleven en-gines was shipped on July first. This was perhaps the most rapidly filledorder on record, with the exception ofsome engines of a lighter type that were. rONSOLinATION TYPE LOCOMOTIVE 2-8-0 FOR THE MEXICAN RAILWAY Each driving crank has a counterbalanceweight cast in one piece with it. Should it be necessary at any time torebuild these locomotives for standardgauge, the wheels will be mounted on built during the war period under extra-ordinary conditions. The annexed table gives further detailsin regard to the locomotives describedabove. i Xovciiibcr, 1921 RAILWAY AND LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEERING 293 The Development of the American Passenger Car Nineteenth and Twentieth Century Appliances Compared Thcic is probably no one thing con-nected with the American .Railroads that,to the casual observer, has changed so littleduring tlie past thirty years as the pas-senger car.
