To THE Editob of thb Auericait Railroad JorRNAL. Dear Sir : The locomotive steam engine for the Saratoga and Schenectady Eailroad, of which I promised to give you some account, was put on the road the 2d inst., and has been in regular operation since, making usually two trips per day each way, equal 84 miles, and carrying daily over the road about 300 passengers. The engine was made by (ieorge Stephenson & Co., at Newcastle, England. The boiler hag tubular flues, on the same plan as all of LOCO...MOTIVE ENGINES. 161 recent construction at that establishment. The leading object I had iu view, in the general arrangement of the plan of this engine, did not contemplate any improvement in power, over those hereto- fore constructed by G. Stephenson & Co. ; but to make an engine that would b€ better adapted to railroads of less strength than were then in use in England ; that would travel with more ease to itself, and to the rail on curved roads — and would be less affected by inequalities in the rail, than is attained by the arrangement by the most approved engines.
