Works, Duilde wheels avoided without materially re-ducing the steaming capacity of thelocomotive. F(ir this reason the ten-wheeled t3pe is proving efficient inhigh-duty service, both freight andpassenger, on the anthracite roads. The Central Railroad of New Jerseyhas recently receicd from The Bald-win Locomotive Works, ten Incoiiio-tives of the 4-6-0 type which are ex-cellent examples of a design suitablefor either freight or i>assengcr service.These engines burn fine anthracite andliave boilers of the modified Woottentype. The driving wheels are 69 ins.in diameter, thus giving them goodspeed capacity; and with a tractiveforce of 36, .S00 lbs. they are capa-t)Ie of handling heay trains. They areequipped with Schmidt superheatersand outside steam pipes. The grate is composed of water-tulies and rocking bars, and has an areaof SI.6 sq. ft. Firing is accomplishe
