Which is introductory to an
nouncement that the Southern Pa
cific Company has Juot placed In
service ten of the largest and most
powerful locomotives ever operated
over its Hne3.
Although they nro lineal descend
snts of tho pioneer woodburnc.r "C.
P. Huntington," known us Soul hern
Pacific No. 1, tho new oll-burnlng
mastodons of railroad motive power
bear little resemblance to their
great grandfather.
How times and appearances have
changed since the first locomotive
was shipped around tho Horn in
1863 for service in California is
best illustrated by the following
comparison:
The Huntington (now used for
historical exhibition purposes only)
Is 291j feet in length, and weighs
311,000 pounds. It could haul four
small cars up a grade of 26 feet to
the mllo a surprising performance
In Us day!
The Southern Pacific's new
plants of Ihe rails are 120 feet
long, 16 foot four Inches high and
each weighs, when loaded, 906,000
pounds. They have individual trac
tive power of 112,760 pounds.
Ten of Mm new locomotives, tech
nically described as "single expan
sion articulated" engines, havo been
added to the company's motive
power equipment on the 139-mile
run over the Sierra Nevada Moun
tains between Rosevllle, California,'
and Sparks, Nevada,
To appreciate fully the sise and
power of the iron steeds just har
nessed by Southern Pacific, it muBt
bo known that "articulated type"
means two separate engines hinged
together. So It is a case of two
locomotives In one, but operated as
a unit.
Tho new engines, unlike most
locomotives, have the cab In front.
This arrangement has not been
utilized by any other railroad but
has been previously employed on a
number of Southern Pacific Mallet
compounds. Its purpose Is to keep
the cab clear of smoke nnd gases
while operating through tunnels
and snowsheds and to glvo the en
ginomen n bettor view oC tho track

Read what these leading
automobile editors said
after seeing and riding in
the new Chevrolet Six
"One of the greatest automobiles I
have ever seen. In performance,
construction and beauty it is phe
nomenal. Never saw so much car
for the money."
NORTH BIGBEE
t Dallas News
"In appearance, performance and
mechanical nicety the new Chev
rolet Six presents actual values far
beyond its price range."
HAZEN CONKLIN
New York World
"The new Chevrolet ia a triumph
for volume production. The car at
its price is one of the greatest
achievements ever recorded in the
automobile industry. Its beauty
is a treat; its riding comfort a new
delight and its performance a real
6ensaion."
RAY PRIEST
Detroit Time
"Aside from beauty in body lines
and attractiveness in finish, the
astounding feature of the new
Chevrolet Six is its powerful nnd
flexible motor. One will have to go
far to equal the high performance
of this new Chevrolet in general
road and traffic use."
LEON J. PINKSON
San Francisco Chronicle
"In speed and acceleration, the
new Chevrolet will more than
satisfy the average person. In
design. Fisher offers costly car
appearance. In short, the new car
is by far Chevrolet's outstanding
achievement."
, EDWARD M. MILLER
, Portland Oregonian
"Introducing new style, beauty
ana smoothness, the new Chev
rolet Six certainly meets the
requirements of the most exacting
buyer."
