The Big Class A Engine Built in Ten Minutes Less Than Seventeen Hours

The Baldwin locomotive works, of Philadelphia, can no longer claim that they have made the best time in building an engine. Their time is twenty-four hours. On Monday morning the Pennsylvania railroad company began the building, at their shops in this city, of a class A anthracite burner, weighing 110,000 pounds, which when finished was to be used on the New York division. There were twenty men in the gang and they were in charge of Gang Foreman John Griffith. As noted in the Tribune of yesterday morning, the work was so far completed Monday evening that all were satisfied that the record could be easily beaten. The locomotive was finished at ten minutes of 3 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, thus making the record ten minutes less than seventeen hours and beating the Baldwin time seven hours. During this time there were two hours when no great amount of work could be done because of the parts being hot from the testing. The locomotive was afterwards run out into the yard. This feat of rapid workmanship again places the Altoona mechanics in the front ranks.

The work was done under the direction of Master Mechanic G.W. Strattan and those having it in preparation in the different departments were William B. Ford, general foreman in charge; A.C. Davis, foreman erecting shop; Peter Moore, foreman lathe shop; John Griffith, gang foreman; William Cook, foreman smith shop; Thomas Wiggins, foreman flue shop; Joseph Nixon, foreman boiler shops; Charles Pimlott, foreman tin shops; Frank McNolty, foreman cab shop; L. Keifer, foreman vise shop; Pat. Halton, rod man; John Lawrence, links and eccentric rods; Charles Mason, foreman paint shop; William Alloway, pipe connections; Thomas Goodfellow, foreman air brake department; Joseph Hoopnagle and the assistants in each department.

I'm not big into steam, what was a Class A?

PS. We passed 1,000,000 views and nothing happened. It was the Y2K of the Jungle.
