Thirty-two railroads furnished reportsto the Committee mostly in answers to thequestion of changing the type of Consoli-dation locomotives, 2-8-0 into Mikado2-8-2. the matter of weight and capacitybeing the vital issue. A large number oflocomotives have thus been change is especially desirable wheregreater boiler capacity is necessary maintaining speed and sustained horsepower. It is in the interest of economythat these changes have been made. .\. S.\NTA FE CONSOLID.\TION LOCOMO-TIVE WHICH MAY BE CHANGEDTO MIKADO TYPE. Mikado engine can at times be operatedat much longer cut-off without loweringthe steam pressure too much, the boilerbeing ample to provide sufficient steamunder the most exacting conditions. Gen-erally speaking a locomotive boiler can-not be made too large. It is often madetoo small. Therefore it increases econo-my to increase the boiler capacity. Thechange justifies the cost, as long as it issure to pay for itself in a reasonable large grate area within limits of fire-men is better than burning coal at a high Train Resistance and Tonnage Rating. Two years ago the Committee on thissubject presented a report containing allthe data that was available at that report was referred back, and muchadditional data has been obtained, butobviously the most accurate and the mostsatisfactory method to determine t
