The first big superheated Schmidt passenger engine of a lot of 10 ordered from the Baldwin Locomotive Works was received by the St. Louis and Southwestern railroad Thursday and givec a thorough test on the track between Pine Bluff and Little Rock. The big engine brought a train from Pine Bluff yesterday morning svnd returned iu the afternoon. For about a yoar the Cotton Belt, as well as other roads, has been using the superheated engines to haul freight, but they are the first railroad in Arkansas to employ the passenger superheated engine. It is believed by rail road men that other roads will follow suit and buy the superheated engines, thus improving passenger facilities in Arkansas within a year.

Is Improved Method. Superheating, it is said, is an improved process for heating steam and giving it the full value of its strength. Under the old system, or the saturated steam system employed on most locomotives, steam loses 15 per cent of its power by cooling. By the improved method an engine is able to pull almost twice as many cars as formerly. It issaid that a freight engine of the old type, able to pull 40 cars, is able to pull 75 cars under the superheated process.

Eighteen superheated freight engines in use by the Cotton Belt last year were so successful that they have decided to use the improved method for handling passenger trains. The road officials say that it is just one step to Improve the passenger service on the Belt through Arkansas this year. The big engine weighs 195,000 pounds and will pull 13 passenger coaches at the rate of 80 miles per hour without going its limit. It has 10 wheels, of improved design. Tank.

Another feature of the new equipment is the water tank, which is constructed of steel. It is able to carry 9,000 gallons of water and 16 tons of coal. This amount of fuel and water will last about 100 miles. The engine was tried out in the presence of A. E.

Luse, erection engineer of the Baldwin Locomotive Works, and E. H. McFadden, road foreman of engineers. A large number ot road engineers and firemen also watched the test. The engine will be operated by C.

T. Bond, engineer, and S. L. Elkins, fireman. It was said the nine other engines ordered will arrive soon and be put on the Arkansas division of the Cotton Belt.

Other improvements, such as coaches, are promised before the end of the year. RAILROAD NOTES. Jack Galloway, traveling passenger agent for the C. ft St. of Memphis, was in Little Rock yesterday.
