Railway and locomotive engineering : a practical journal of railway motive power and rolling stock . 0 miles of line in northern New Jersey andsouth-eastern New York, has recently received, fromThe Baldwin Locomotive Works, four Consolidation typelocomotives which are notable because of their weight andhauling capacity. This line has connection with the Le-high Valley R. R. and the Central R. R. of New Jersey,and the traffic which it handles consists largely of hardcoal. Heretofore, this traffic has been hauled chiefly byConsolidation type locomotives having a total weight of erted, are less than in the jMikado, but this is no specialhandicap in vievv of the slow-speed drag service in whichthe Consolidations are used. The boilers of the new Consolidations are of thestraight top type, with tubes 15 ft. 6 in. long. A super-heater of 50 elements is applied. The firebox containsa brick arch supported on six 3-inch tubes, and thereis a full installation of flexible stay-bolts in the waterspaces. The boiler is fired by a Duplex stoker. The steam distribution is controlled by 14-inch piston.
