The heaviest power on the NorthernPacific, prior to the purchase of theseengines, was 22 x 28 simple consolida-tions, having an adhesive weight of 135,-000 pounds, and a total weight of 150,000pounds. The compounds have adhesionof 150.000 pounds and a total of 186,000pounds. These figures will be interestingto those following the development ofheavy power, as these engines have anadhesion equal to the total weight of thoseso long considered big fellows.
