The marked increase in traffic which lias recently of the Mikado (2-8-2) type and were placed in service taken place on the railroads of the South is taxing exist- early in 1925. A comparison of their principal dimensions ing facilities severely and necessitating the use of the with those of the new 2-10-2 type locomotives, is as heaviest motive power permitted by track and bridge con- follows: ditions. The Central of George is no exception in this This represents an increase in tractive force of 3.^ ])cr. Santa Fe Type Locomotive of the Central of Georgia Railway Built by The Baldwin Locomotive Works respect: and is steadily improving its property with aview of maintaining the high standard of service for whichthis roafi is noted. The latest addition to the motive power equipment is agroup of ten locomotives of the 2-10-2 type, recently com-pleted by The Baldwin Locomotive Works. These loco-motives exert a tractive force of 73,830 pounds and aredesigned to traverse curves of 18 degrees; and many oftheir principal dimensions accord with those of the heavystandard 2-10-2 type locomotives built for the UnitedStates Railroad Administration.
