Supt. the gradual improvement and con-sequent development of powerful loco-motives adapted for the hardest kindof service, and it may be added that inthe application of this experience tothe special requirements of the serviceof the Rock Island Lines, the construc-tors were guided by the officials of themechanical department, and to whoseintelligent co-operation in the prepara-tion of the special design the verymarked success of these powerful loco-motives is largely due.
