The oil and water tanks areof 4,000 and gallons capacity re-spectively, and are rectangular in crosssection. The front and back bumpersare of cast steel; the frame center sillsconsist of 15-in. channels, and the sidesills of i2-in. channels. The trucks areof the six-wheel, equalized pedestaltype; the wheels are steel-tired withcast steel spoke centers, and were madeby the Standard Steel Works Companyof Philadelphia. The truck frames andpedestals are of cast steel, and each superheating and compounding. Theengine has been designed in the lightof considerable experience with heavyarticulated locomotives, and there isevery reason to believe that its per-formance will be satisfactory.
