The construction of this locomotive was authorizedbut was never built, but now, the Horatio Allen is asomewhat enlarged and improved edition of that enginewhich was proposed al)out twenty-two years ago. C«ntra»-AllliU RAILWAY AND LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEERING January, 1925 Coming now to the Horatio Allen, Mr. Aluhlfeld saidthat it was during the fall of 1919 that, in a discussionas to the increasing fuel costs of the Kansas CitySouthern. I was explaining as to what I thought shouldbe done in the way of modernizing existing locomotives, the boiler, in direct contact with water tubes and theradiant heat action on the same, in combination with im-proved circulation of the water and the more effectivecombustion and heat utilization, as compared with theordinary radial stayed or Belpaire type of firebox either. and that in new construction the utilization of highersteam pressures and cross compounding should be givenfull consideration, along the lines of a new design Iwas working uptin. At this juncture Mr. L. F. Loreewalked in and the discussion was reopened, with the re-sult that he asked me to send him a memorandum of whatI proposed to do. The result of this interview was hisauthorization of the construction of the Horatio Allen. The Horatio Allen has been designed in order to de-termine as to what can be accomplished in the way of abetter production and utilization of fuel heat and bymeans of a higher steam pressure and the greater useof its expansion properties, in combination with the de-velopment of maximum hauling power in the most sim-plified form of a modern steam locomotive, consisting oftwo cvlinders and four pairs of driving wheels Itis calculated that, bv the use of steam of 3
