Abstract
A NOTEWORTHY Parlimentary paper has recently been issued containing correspondence respecting the comparative merits of British, Belgian and American built locomotives running on the Egyptian railways. The paper is full of interest to the locomotive engineer, bearing out as it does the unsatisfactory results obtained with American locomotives on British, Colonial and Indian railways when compared with the English design of engine, and, what is more, these unsatisfactory results are in all cases certified by the representative of the American firm of locomotive builders, as well as by an official appointed by the Egyptian railway authority, so there can be little doubt as to their accuracy.
