LOOO T the time of their completion, the A locomotives used for hauling the long, heavy coal and other trains over the steep railroad grades In the rnoun tains of Virginia wers the most pow erful In the world. The enormous size, weight and pow er of these leviathans of the* rail are positively astounding. Each engine (and tender) weighs almost 900,000 pounds, Is considerably more than 100 feet In length, has 20 driving wheels, Is fired by machinery, exerts a straightaway pull of 176,000 pounds and, ’tls said, will haul any load that the coupling pin will hold. The boilers of these giants on wheels are about 9% feet In diameter. Each boiler contains 381 two and a quarter- inch tubes, which, placed end to end. would reach almost two miles; also seventy 6H-lnch flues, having a total length of more than a quarter of a mile. The Are boxes are 16 feet loug and 9 feet wide. The shipment of these large locomo tives from the point of construction to the point of service presented an unusually peculiar and difficult prob lem requiring great care and attention, for the reason that the tracks and bridges of the various railroads over which they had to move were not, In all cases, built to withstand such tre mendous weights. They were shipped in a partially knocked-down condition and approximately two weeks were re quired to move them from Schenectady, N. Y., to Princeton, W. Va. Three cars were necessary to carry the loose and detached parts belonging to each locomotive. ---------- a " Services in the Church building, Main street, at 11 a.m. Subject: “ Truth.” Testimonial services each Wednes day evening, 8 o'clock.
