FOR USE ON SIBERIAN RAILWAY
Biggest Ever Built in in Europe.
London, Yesterday.
An enormous railway locomotive for use on the main line to Moscow and later on the Siberian route, is to be built by a British firm for the U.S.S.R.
The Moscow Government have ordered from this British firm what practically amounts to two locomo- tives combined, with one boiler.
Ready for Winter
The engine will have 28 coupled and bogie wheels and will be shipped to Leningrad for introduction on the main line service to Moscow for the coming Winter.
Afterwards the locomotive will be used on the Trans-Siberian Rail- way.
It will be the biggest engine over built in Europe and will weigh 266 tons.-Reuter.
