These engines, built at the Brooks works of the AmericanLocomotive Company, are very heavy examples of the LakeShore or Prairie type, and are particularly interesting be-cause of the use of tandem compound cylinders with a novelarrangement of the support of the guides, whereby the pack-ing of the low pressure pistons may be reached quickly andconveniently. With the exception of the 10-wheel compoundsbuilt in 1900 for the Lehigh Valley, these engines are theheaviest of the six coupled type that we have in our are heavier by 1,700 lbs. than the new Sante Fe prairietype engines (American Engineer, December, 1901, page 373),and the fact that they are tandem compounds, from the BrooksWorks, renders them specially worthy of interest. Theseworks had early experience with this type of compound, andhave
