Paris-Orleans Pacific Type Locomotive heater) were made on this road between and Dijon,the line rising from Laroche to Blaisy ( miles) withlong continuous grades of about 1 in 200. With trains weighing as much as 487 tons, locomotive6102 (simple) indicated 2,051 hp.,* the utilized power odthe draw bar being 1,364 hp. The water consumed per hourand per indicated horse power varied, in the different experi-ments, from lb. to lb., the gross coal consumption,including lighting up of fire-, from lb. to 40 lb., andthe net coal consumption (deduction made for lighting up)from lb. to lb. In some cases as much as 1, coal were shovelled in per hour and for each sq. grate. Compound locomotive 6204 hauled trains of 646 tons at mans work. The coal tank is entirely in front, with a bot-tom sloping at an angle of 45 deg. On both sides, auxiliary-tanks are provided for briquettes, which are also close athand.
