WEST LOCOMOTIVE
Longer by one-incli than any other
steam locomotive in the wor^J, so far
as is known, Dan Daxon, locomotive
engineer on the Alaska Railroad, who
passed thru Seward Sunday from the
States, dropped a photograph in The
Gateway office of the huge engine,
No. 2034, built In the Spokane shops
of the Great Northern.
The monster locomotive, costing
$100,000, is known as the 2-8-8-2
type and is 108 feet and one-inch
long and is really two engines actual
ly combined in one frame. The engine
and tender, ready for the road with
17,000 gallons of water in the tank,
and 5,200 gallons of fuel oil, w'eigh
920,440 pounds.
Following road tests the engine will
be sent to the Kalispel division for
hauling 5000-ton freight trains at 35
miles an hour over the Rockies from
Whitefish to Cutbank, Mont. Shop
Superintendent Joseph Hurley, Gen
eral Foreman Alex B. Colville and 24
men who wrorked on it are proud of
the first and largest engine the shop
ever turned out.
Actual construction work was com
menced with the arrival of the boi
er from Seattle on October 4, and 42
working days were necessary to com
plete the monster. While the frame
was forged in Pittsburgh, and the boil
er manufactured elsewhere, the ac
tual machining, turning, grinding and
aligning, fitting and other machine
work were carried out in the Hillyard
shops. A brass plate carries the let
ering “Built Hillyard Shops, 1927.”
To those interested in mechanics,
STo. 2034 is the last word in locomo
ive equipment. It has both steam and
exhaust injectors, mechanical lubri
■ating devices, superheaters, air act
lated reverse gear and other features.
Dnly an engineer would appreciate
hese other features. The engine is
lesigned to exert a tractive effort of
^30,000 pounds, which means pulling
<
ill
i train weighing 5,000 tons along at
jassenger train speed. The 2034 is
me of four the Great Northern is
milding in the Hillyard shops.
Jimmy Collins is needed badly by
lis aged mother in Ireland w’ho, in-/

like an arrow from a bow
Buick for 1928 gets away in traffic like
an arrow from a bow!
Watch the Buicks next time you drive
downtown. See how easily they step out
in front when the signal changes. And
note how they give other cars the slip
in the friendly rivalry of traffic.
You cannot say you know the full
meaning of “performance” until you’ve
driven a Buick for 1928.
