Wheeling & Lake Erie Railway. -- Woodward Iron Company Logging Locomotives OWING to the variety of conditions existing in logging operations, a large number of different types of locomotives are required for this class of service. In some cases these engines are chiefly employed in making short hauls in the woods, where steep grades, sharp curves and uneven tracks are en- countered. In other cases the locomotives make relatively long runs from the point where the logs are loaded, to the mill; and the conditions here approximate those found in road service. The physical characteristics of the logging line, however, frequently require the use of special types of locomotives. The following pages contain illustrations and descriptive data of the principal types of logging loco- motives, built by The Baldwin Locomotive Works. The "double-ender" locomotives, treated on pages 25 to 49 are all for standard gauge track. The locomotives shown on pages 4 to 24 represent nine different wheel arrangements, and include two examples of narrow gauge engines. The larger locomotives of the Mogul, Ten-wheeled and Consolidation types, are specially suit- able for making long hauls. These locomotives are similar to those of the same types and capacities employed in regular road service, the equipment being modified to suit the special conditions met on the logging railways. The geared locomotives are treated on pages 50 to 59. The tables contain the hauling capacities of the locomotives illustrated, on grades from level to six per cent. The service conditions, where such have been specified, are also noted. Double-Ender Locomotives The most desirable type of direct-connected loco- motive for logging service, where curves are sharp, tracks uneven, and it is frequently necessary to run backward is the double-ender. In this design a two-wheeled radial truck, with swing-bolster, is placed under each end of the locomotive. These trucks are equalized with the driving wheels, the front truck being center bearing and the rear truck side bearing. In this wav the three-' point suspension system is retained, and when running over uneven tracks the locomotive rides steadily and each wheel finds a bearing. The trucks protect the driving tires against flange wear, and enable the locomotive to enter sharp curves and switches without danger of derailment, when running in either direction. A short driving wheel base can be used without impairing the stability of the locomotive, and hence sharp curves can be easily traversed. The boiler is large, and there is ample room between the rear driving axle and back truck for a deep firebox, which permits the use of green wood slabs or other loose fuel. Free-steaming is essential in heavy grade work, and with this wheel arrangement ample boiler capacity can be provided in combination with a moderate load per driving axle. This is an important consideration in locomotives operating on light or poorly constructed tracks. As shown in the following illustrations, these loco- motives are built with two, three or four pairs of driving wheels. The most desirable number to use in any case will of course depend upon the service conditions The six- coupled type has been more extensively built than either of the others. The eight coupled or Mikado type is suitable for heavy work, where the weight necessary for adhesion cannot be safely carried on three pairs of driving wheels; while for light service, under favorable conditions the four coupled design is the most satisfactory. These locomotives are preferably supplied with separate tenders, although where runs are short, and a sufficient supply of fuel and water can be carried on the engine, a tank locomotive can be used to advantage Results in service fully justify the claim that for either switching or road work, the double-ender is the best design of direct connected logging locomotive thus far produced. Twenty-three examples are illustrated and described in the following pages.
