The largest and most powerful locomotive of its kind in the world and the first of the type in America was completed and ready for service when the giant, oil-burning, three cylinder “8000” type engine, representing a new era in the advancement of steam motive power of greater efficiency and higher sustained capacity, was placed on exhibition in the Windsor Street station of the Canadian Pacific Railway at Montreal recently. It was built by the railway at its Angus Shops in Montreal and is destined for use in freight and passenger service in the Rockies, It is attracting much interest in mechanical and railroad circles, particularly because of the radical departure in boiler design from the present type of locomotive boiler, and also because of the high steam pressures used with resultant economies in fuel without additional costs for boiler maintenance.
