Locomotives and Other Rolling Stock: Rolling Stock In France
The interest of French locomotive practice is centered in the development of the four-cylinder compound, which has permitted a marked increase in the weight and speed of the trains. In the majority of these engines, the high-pressure cylinders drive one axle, and the low-pressure cylinders another axle, but coupling rods have been preserved between these axles. The only exception is a unique locomotive (No. 701) built in 1885 for the Chemin de Fer du Nord, in which the two axles were not connected. This plan has not been continued. The use of coupling rods began in 1887 on the Paris, Lyons, et Méditerranée Railway locomotives. Since 1890 large numbers of such engines have been bui1t or ordered by French rail way companies, and their aggregate number will soon exceed two thousand
