Last week the Northern Pacific re- ceived on its Spokane division the first instalment of some 202 ton en- gines. We thought the very limit had been reached with the seventy- two ton /engines. says Master Me-. chanic Frank B. Childs. "But now we have received 202 ton machines we are more chary about believing tl.u. a .weight limit is a known quantity." The new type of engines is embraced within two classifica- titons.
