Withthe reserve capacity secured with the useof superheated steam they will be ableto make the schedules unassisted withnine cars on 530 tons. By the introduction of these more pow-erful modern Pacifies, the expense ofdouble-heading will be eliminated and atthe same time the present high standardof service maintained. One of the most interesting of the newfeatures is the long main driving boxes,designed to reduce the wear on the boxesand increase mileage before renewal ofthe bearings becomes necessary.
