Results of experience with 5 locomotives of this type indicate: (1) maintenance will not differ materially from 2-cylinder type; (2) from standpoint of train operation 3-cylinder engines will do better; (3) it will make moderate saving in fuel and water in fast freight service, probably more in drag freight service.
