A Novel Engine

A NOVEL ENGINE.

Baltimore and Ohio Has a Machine That carries Passengers.

A unique engine has recently been completed by the Baltimore and Ohio railroad at its Mount Clair shops in Baltimore. It is designed for the use of officials in making inspection trips. Though called an inspection engine, it really answers the purpose of a whole train. The engine has a small passenger coach constructed on top of the boiler back of the smokestack. The boiler is heavily covered with asbestos and the floor of the car with brussels carpet.

The seats in the coach are arranged in amphitheater style, so as to give every one in the car a full view of the track and surrounding country. Paseengers enter the car by winding stairs on either side of the front pilot. The engine may be readily run in either direction.
