Flexible bolts to the num-ber of 550 are used in the water legs.These stay the entire throat and areplaced in the two outside rows in the backhead. In the sides they are applied inthe two front and two back vertical rows,and in the two upper horizontal rows,the remainder being grouped in the uppercorners. The main frames are of vanadium caststeel. They have a width of 6 ins. and a depth of 7 ins. over the pedestals. The front rails are single and are cast in one piece with the main frames. Each rail is 11 ins. deep and 6 ins. wide, and is strengthened on the bottom by a rib which is 2 ins. wide by 4 ins. deep. As is usual in a locomotive of this size, cast steel is used for all the important frame braces. It is also used for the driving equalizer fulcrums. These act as filling ROCK ISLAND & PACIFIC RAILWAY.Baldwin Loco Works, Builde
