EXPRESS PASSENGER ENGINE FOR THE MIDLAND RAILWAY.
     THE Dore and Chinley section of the Midland Railway has recently been opened, and this establishes a new express route between Liverpool and Manchester and Sheffield. The line passes over the peak district of Derbyshire on gradients that are very severe throughout.
     The engine which we illustrate is one of the type of 20 which have been built for this special service. Fifteen of them have been built by Sharp, Stewart & Company and five by the Midland Company. The diameters of the cylinders are 18½ in. with a stroke of 26 in. The driving-wheels are 6 ft. 6 in. in diameter, and the boiler carries a pressure of 160 lbs. per square inch. The capacity of the tenders is 3,250 galls. of water.
     The standard size of driving-wheels for the Midland engines is 7 ft., but these have been made 6 in. smaller on account of the gradients.
