C. Vernet, Locomotive Superintendent. I-OR THE WESTERN RAILWAY to the west end of the island into thePinar del Rio district, and is one of theimportant railways of Cuba. The engines are simple and have cyl-inders 20x24 ins., with 50 in. drivingwheels. With 180 lbs. boiler pressurethese engines develop tractive eflfort lbs. The weight on the drivers lbs., and this gives a ratio ofadhesion of 4,1. or, in other words, theengine can exert a drawbar pull of one-quarter the weight resting on its driv-ing wheels. The valves are Morse bal-anced slide actuated by Walschaertsgear. The front and rear drivers onlyare flanged, and the third pair are themain wheels. The springs for the lead-ing and second drivers are overhung,and these two are equalized main and rear drivers have onesemi-elliptical spring between them,placed between the top an
