摘要

The Chicago Great Western has recently placed in operation between Oelwein, Iowa, and Dubuque ten Mallet locomotives having the 2-6-6-2 wheel arrangememt, which were built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works. The high pressure cylinders are 23 in. x 32. in., the low pressure cylinders, 32 in. x 35 in., and the driving wheels 57 in. in diameter. These engines are not fitted with a feedwater heater or a superheater, and the boiler is of ordinary construction. The cast steel dome has openings for high pressure steam pipes cast integral with flanges for connection by ball joints to the throttle valve, making a simple and direct design. The steam pipe is 5.56 in. inside diameter.
