STANDARD ATLANTIC TYPE LOCOMOTIVE. Harriman Lines. In the March number of this journal we illustrated a Pacifictype locomotive, which was constructed on the standard designadopted by the Harriman Lines last year, which were com-pletely illustrated in the American Engineer, 1905, pages 154,200, 250, 288, 320, 353, 400 and 441. The illustration herewith shows the corresponding Atlantictype, an order of which has recently been constructed by theBaldwin Locomotive Works for the Southern Pacific of similar type, but equipped for burning coal, -firebox is provided with a shallow ash pan and the oil burneris placed in the front end of the box. The cylinders are fitted with a modification of the Sheedycirculating valve, the seat for which is located in the cylindercasting. The piston valves are 12 ins. in di
