The Consolidation engine isone of two which were built in the fall of1912; while the ten-wheeler is one ofthree engines recently placed in service. The two designs are generally similar,and interchangeable details have beenused where practicable. The main line of the Louisiana Railwayand Navigation Co. extends from Shreve-port to New Orleans. It is laid with70-pound rails, and has grades of percent, and curves of 4 degrees. Underthese circumstances, a comparativelyheavy tonnage can be handled by rela-tively light engines. In the case of bothtypes the wheel-loading is conservativefor 70-pound rails, as the average weightcarried per pair of drivers is less than20,000 pounds. The Consolidation type locomotives areused in freight service, and exert atractive fo
