RUNS LIFE A CYCLONE.
On the stroke of 6:12 : o'clock every
evening , says the New York Sun , there
pulls out of the Jersey Central station in
Jersey City a new and huge locomotive
which can run a mile in thirty-six sec-
. This monster arouses such interest -
est in all who catch a glimpse of it that
every evening a crowd of men and wom-
en-passengers by the various outgoing
trains-gather around it and gaze on it
with amazement. Even the engineers
and firemen from other trains show an
unusual interest in it.
The engine is No. 385 , and was built
by the Baldwin Locomotive company of
Philadelphia for the Philadelphia &
Reading , under contract to make the
the run from Camden to Atlantic City ,
ninety miles , inninety minutes. Itisrun-
ning temporarily on the Royal Blue line
to Philadelphia to get ready for service.
It is a compound engine , built on the
English model , with a small smokestack ,
and is the only locomotive of its kind in
existence. In its general appearance it
impresses one as being much larger than
it really is. It is higher then the ordinary -
nary locomotive , but by actual measurement -
ment it is one inch less in length than
engines of the biggest type in use. The
driving wheels are the central feature.
There are two instead of four , as is the
rule on other passenger engines. Instead
of being at the back they are in the middle -
dle , and directly under the cab. They
are seven feet high.
The . engine is equipped with a Wooster
firebox and burns very fine buckwheat
coal. It is run under 200 pounds steam
pressure and uses the steam twice , which
insures a saving of coal and water.
This locomotive is expected to revolutionize -
tionize railroad transportation , and its
trial trips are being watched with a great
deal of interest by railroad men.
