For the accommodation of such engines as have already beenassured, a rough shed will be provided; but in time it is hopedthat a suitable engineering museum building will be providedwhich will serve as a place of deposit for the very large amountof museum material which is now either the property of Pur-due or has been intrusted to its keeping. 8 AMERICAN ENGINEER AND RAILROAD EMPIRE STATE EXPRESS LOCOMOTIVE. New York Central & Hudson Kiver R. R. Mb . M w.,™ c • .. ., , * ,, . Mr. A. M. Waitt. Superintendent of Motive Power and Boiling Stock. NEW EMPIRE STATE EXPRESS LOCOMOTIVE. New York Central & Hudson River Railroad. This engine is described with a feeling that in a sense it isthe last of its race. It is difficult to realize the progress of loco-motive design until, in glancing over recent notable enginesone is struck with the passing of the 8-wheel type. The appre-ciation of boiler power has led to a reluctant discarding of thistype for the hardest passenger service, but the type still occu-pies an important place in other service, and if very fast lighttrains were as common in this country as in England andFrance, the 8-wheel engine would undoubtedly remain thefavorite. The tendency, however, in this country is towardheavier trains. Mr. A. M. Waitt, of the New York Central, recently designedand built the handsome
