NEW GIANT r OF TRACKS Son of Local Woman Engineer Of ureal Mream-iinea Locomotive Walter Service, son of Mrs. Peter Black of the Central Hotel, was the engineer of a giant new 517'2-ton stream-lined locomotive when It made its maiden run a few days ago on the Northern Pacific Railway from Pasco, Wash, to Spokane. New engines of this "mallet" type are being placed on this run- to speed up the service both in passenger and freight handling. Towering over all other locomotives which have been used on the line, the new type of engine Is 127 feet long and 16 feet four Inches high. Stream-lined to the last degree, It has 12 69-lnch drivers, six on each side. It can haul passen ger trains at a speed of 70 miles per hour. Despite Its tremendous weight and size the engine Is easier on the tracks because of its flexibility and weight distribution than the smaller engines. The bases or the old' engines are rigid, while the frame of the mallet is divided, which .makes the blow struck by the en-! glne against the rails while round-i lng curves much lighter. Gazing Into the firebox Is like a short glimpse of Dante's Inferno as the blast of heat rushes through The door. The firebox grate area' Is 20 V2 feet by 10 feet with enough area to scat 24 people at tea. The combustion chamber Is nine feet In diameter and ten feet lopg. lias Feeder Coal Is fed the engine through an automatic stoker or perpetual motion corkscrew which carries the coal from the tender, crushes It if necessary and pours It on the apron which juts Into the. firebox. Steam Is used to distribute the coal from the apron to any-point in the firebox the fireman desires Seven jets are provided, each operated separate from the others to put the coal at any point in the box.
