The heating surfaces. Half End Elevations of the Standard 10,000-Gal. Tender Tank comjiare closely, although the standard locomotive has a con-siderably larger grate than the earlier built locomotive. In design the light Mountain type locomotive is essentiallythe same as the other standard types, following closeh thelines of the heavy Mountain and the two Pacific types. The boiler is of tlie conical wagon top type, with the dom; type .1 superheater. The same number of tubes and fluesare also used in the Ijoiler of the heavy Pacific type locomo-tive, the length of which, however, is 19 ft., with a chamljer. The size of firebox at the mudring isthe same for both boilers. The boiler of the light Mountaintype is fitted with a Shoemaker power operated firedoor. The frames are similar in design to those of other singleunit standard types. The width is six inches and the top railhas a maximum depth of T/i in. over the pedestals, with aminimum of six inches between the pedestals. The lowerrail has
