THE BURLINGTON'S MONSTER ENGINE. It Weighs 117 Tons and I the Largest Ker Ituilt for Passenger Service. Railroads. Fast and West, are not competitive in their equipments in any sen.se; but the monster locomotive of the Boston & Albany Railroad, which recently took the palm from old "fSJrJ" of the Empire State Express, must relinepiish its place to a western rival. The Chicago. Burlington t Quincy Railroad has recently put into service the two largest passenger engines ever constructed. 1 hey will be used on tho Denver Express and the fast mail trains. These new giants, numbered IT-DI anil l."!.2, weigh just one ton more than the Massachusetts wonder. Ono hundred and twenty-seven tons each, 2.000 pounds more than their camera rival. Fistern railroads were in a ninedays' wonderment over the Boston tfc Albany's experiment. When locomotive 221 thundered out of Bo-ton a few weeks ago at a 7'-mile sweep for Springfield, the world's record in locomotives was exceeded. Without any spirit of competition and wholly wi:hin the scope of its needs, the Burlington system has had to outdo the New England line. Compared with the Boston & Albany's No. 2J1. the Burlington's No. ir.Ol shows more marked characteristics than are :o be sruessed from thtotal weight-difference of one ton. The Albany's engine weighs 12) tons, and the Burlington's 127 tons; the drivers of the one are six feet, two inches, aa l of the other 7 fet and 5i of an inch: No. 221 hauls a train w ighing .11 tons and No. 1,'M pulls one weighing .171 tons; the compound cylinders of the cne are 22 by .11 indies and of the other 2.1 by 2i inches: No. 221 carries eight tons of coal and 4..V0 gallons of water; No. 1 r. r 1 takes twelve tons of coal and r.." era lions of water; both engines have the same steam prcssuro of 220 pounds to the square inch. Tins new mastodon of the Turlington's is the Atlantic type, Vamdairi compound engine, with two cylinders high and low pressure on eaedi side. Its boiler is fitted with 2ftl tubes, two inches in diameter, and sixteen feet long. Its giant drivers, two on a side are about midway between the baT of the cab ar.d the front of the pilot. Just behind them is a trail-truck, with two wheels five feet in diameter. Back cf these are the regulation trucks supporting the tender. Each of the four drive-whf els weighs .I.L'On pounds, arid makes about 21'J revolutions to the mile. On it? first trip with the Denver fljrr. No. I.Vtl pulled a solid vestibule train of two mail cars, one composite libraiy and smoking car, two sbepins cars, a dining car and two re-dining chaii cars a load sixty-one ton; it1 excess of that drawn by the eastern engine. On this occasion No. I'.l behaved admirably.
