The first Pacific type locomotives builtby the Baldwin Locomotive Works forthe Southern Pacific Company that wereequipped with superheaters were com-pleted in 1912. A brief comparison oftheir dimensions with those of the newengines will be of interest as showing wealth rear frame cradles and Delta trail-ing trucks. The trailing truck is equalizedwith the drivers by means of equalizingbeams which in this case are fulcrumedon the truck frame. With this arrange-ment the load is transferred to the truckframe at the radius bar pin and throughtwo sliding bearings placed right and leftback of the truck wheels.
