The cylinders are 17 x 24 simple andthe driving wheels are 56 ins. in dia-meter and with a steam pressure of 1S0lbs. The engine can exert a maximumtractive force of 18,950 lbs. The two-wheeled leading truck of this locomo-tive is equalized with the driving-wheels by two equalizing beams, placedone on each side of the center line, andfulcrumed under the cylinder front truck is thus virtually side-bearing. The rear truck is center-bear-ing, and is of the usual type, with caststeel swing bolster and wrought ironframe an
