Thefuel and water consumption is practically the same as was ob-tained on the tests which required .084 lbs. of coal per ton-mile at 15 miles per hour. This was practically 40 per than was required by either of the consolidation loco-motives at the same speed. Tliis continued excellent service of all of these locomotives in-dicates that they were properly designed for the conditions, thatthey were well built, and, most of all, that they are being prop-erly taken care of at the terminals. Even with the first two.
