The air brake is the Westinghouse schedule ET withcross-compound air compressors. Ample cooling surface isprovided in the air brake piping, 2-in. pipes being used be-tween the compressor and the first reservoir. A parasitereservoir is also part of the air system with which this loco-motive is equipped, and the pressure is controlled by aWestinghouse Parasite governor. The locomotives are hand-fired and have proved excep- tionally easy steamers, and quite live up to the expectationsof economy in coal and water. The principal data and dimensions are as follows: General Data Case 4 ft. B/i in Service Freight 1 uel Bit coal Tractive effort 56,147 lb. Weight in working order 320,500 1b. Weight on drivers lb. Weight on leading truck 28,000 lb.
