It was further speci-fied that the axle loads should not exceed lbs. andthat the weight of the locomotive and tender includingthe impact of the counter-balance, in working order,should not be more than 4,025 lbs. per running foot, whenmeasured between the buffers. After a preliminary examination of the road it was de-cided that the axle arrangement of the 2 Dl class shouldbe retained and that a four-cylinder de Glehn compoundshould be used. It happened that the contract for the construction of. 4-8-2 Mountain Type Locomotive of the Northern Railway of Spa -From a Drav Hanomag-Nachrichte alajara mountains with a height of 3,985 feet, both lyingon the route to the frontier station of Irun. Tliere .tieonly a ver\ few large cities on this route, so that, as theexpress trains .serve, for the most part, the internationaltraffic only, it would be uneconomical to increase the num-ber of trains. And so, because of this character of thetraffic it is planned to equip the trains with dining, sleep-ing and saloon cars. This plan could not be executed the most powerful locomotives that had been built,that is loconvHives of the 2 CI class were not strongenough, while the cjriving wheels of the 2 D locomotiveswere too small to make the required speed even on theeasiest grades between Burgos and Medina del Campo. Now while the 2 CI four-cylinder compound locomo-tives can only haul a train of 170 tons, the Northern Rail-road Comfjany laid down in their specifications that thislocomo
