Twenty-five locomotives of this type
have recently been built for the
Union Pacific
Railroad and two for the Utah Railway. With but few
exceptions, these
are duplicates of the engines built in 1917. The main frames are of
open hearth vanadium steel. Walschaerts valve motion is used and the
setting is the same
as that on the Pacific type locomotives, except the lead is reduced to
1/8 in. This amount is more suitable for heavy freight service.
