April, 1913. New Locomotives for the Chicago ^ Western Indiana Ihc recent marked improvement inheavy locomotives for switching andheavy transfer service is one of the out-standing features in locomotive construc-tion of the present time. The Chicago & Western Indiana R. R popular in general freight service, hason many roads been superseded by othertypes having higher relative steamingcapacity. A study of the present design,however, shows it to be admirably adaptedt I tlif service requirements, as the typical steaming capacity than is found in manysuccessful Consolidation engines. Thetractive force exerted is 36,000 pounds. The superheater is of the Schmidt top-header type, witli 32 elements. The pistonvalves are 14 inches in diameter and are.
