New suburban cars haverecently been placed in service whichweigh 138,000 pounds as compared with75,000 pounds weight for the older classof car. As it was also desired to in-crease the number of cars in a train, itbecame necessary to design a more pow-erful engine. Former experience withthe traffic and the different types of en-gines used, influenced the railway officialsin deciding on the Suburban type for thenew power. These new engines are han-dling an average train of 7 cars. Trainsof 5 cars were the average with formerpi iwer. The design in general follows thestandards of the builder. An interestingfeature is the combination of the Gainescombustion chamber and a Security brickarch. This combination secures a verycomplete deflection
