Two minutes was usedin running the last two miles throughthe switches. At least one minute waslost with the signal check. With thesedeductions I calculate that the averagerun was made at a speed of over 70 milesan hour. The engines used to-day, such as isshown in our frontispiece, are simplewith cylinders 21 x 24 ins. and drivingwheels 84^4 ins. in diameter. The mainvalves are 11! the Richardson type, doubleported. The steam pressure carried is230 lbs. The engine weighs about 117tons. The tender carries S tons of coaland holds 6,000 gal
