Engine No. 302 0-6-2
2-6-0 Tank. A
very powerful articulated tank locomotive of the rather
unusual
0-6-2 2-6-0 type. It ia compound and has four cylinders—two
small
high-pressure and two large low-pressure. A feature of interest
is the
articulation between the two sets of engines, whereby great
flexibility
is given, so that sharp curves can be traversed easily. Water
is carried
in four long side tanks, two being located on either side.
Built in
Belgium, the total weight of the engine in working order
is 102 tons. Peking-Hankow Railway, China.

of their
men who fell in the Great War, this engine, appropriately
named "Remembrance," has two bronze tablets, suitably
inscribed, affixed to
the side tanks. This engine, and others of this type, work
the heavy
fast passenger expresses between London and Brighton, covering
the
distance of 52 miles in the hour. The engine weighs in working
order 98 1/2
tons. Southern Railway - London, Brighton & South
Coast Section.
