American Engine Breaks Records.

An American locomotive of the decapod type has broken European records for hauling a heavily-loaded freight train. The feat was accomplished on the Nikolaief division of the Russian Southern railroad, where the locomotive hauled a train 2,800 feet long, with a load of 4,424 tons. The experiment was conducted by Professor Loinbnosof, a m ember of the engineering board of the Russian Ministry of Ways Of Communication. A Russian engine was tried the American, but the latter clearly proved its superiority. .
