New N. & W. Giant of the Rails Modern from stem to stern, the new Norfolk and Western giant of the rails pictured above, is the largest and fastest freight locomotive ever oper ated on the railroad and one of the speediest in the country. Equipped with roller bearings and "floating axles,” the engine’s twelve huge 70-inch driv ing wheels can flash over the rails at a speed of 65 to 70 miles an hour. Officials say it will enable the N. & W. to provide a freight service as fast as that of passenger or express trains. • Built and designed by the railroad's employees in its Roanoke (Va.) Shops at a cost of $140,000, the locomotive has a tractive effort of 104.500 pounds, is 120 feet-7J inches long, and in working order, weighs nearly a million pounds. No oil can is needed here. Smooth running and remark ably quiet, oil is pumped mechanically to practically all sliding and other R Brief Reuieui Concerning Central School Os Roxboro The school year, 1935-1936, would not seem successfully closed with out a word of thanks and apprecia tion to our many friends, patrons, and supporters for the nice things which have been said of the school’s proceedings in general, and, for their every kindness and considera tion shown in each undertaking. It would be impossible to list all that deserves mention, however, the faculty would like to recall a few of the “highlights” of accomplishments and deeds of helpfulness. The following deserve deep and sincere thanks both from faculty pu pils, and parents for the pleasurable, lovely, wholesome, worthwhile les sons brought to everyone through chapel exercises which were con ducted during the school year, by your pastors, Messrs. W. F. West, Thomas Hamilton, E. B. Craven, B. P. Robinson, T. W. Lee, J. F. Her bert, J. C. McGregor and faithful friends of the school, Supt. R. B. Griffin, G. C. Davidson, Mesdames R. L.

It is a genuine pride and joy to all of thosq spending their days in this school. (Every parent should visit the school and make compari sons in order to appreciate fully this new addition.) Everyone knows our new County Superintendent deserves great praise for his untiring efforts and interest in putting this project across as well as for his ever-ready and willing support and coopera tion in every phase of school work. To Mr. Davidson we would add extra thanks for the “million and one” favors and kind and helpful .support in the big as well as little problems which arose during the days of school and for the improve ments to our school yard, and foun | tains. 1 In spite of the illrfcss of our great ly beloved Miss Mary, infantile pa ralysis, the many near tragical ac PERSON COUNTY TIMES ROXBORO, N.

Electrically welded throughout, the firebox has 1221 square feet of grate surface. The tender carries 26 tons of coal and 22,000 gallons of water. A second locomotive of the same type is now being built in the railroad’s Roanoke Shops.
