BALDWIN LEARNS TO DRIVE LARGEST LOC MOTIV IN BRITISH EMPIRE- ' The Rt, Hon, Stanley Baldwin, the British Premier, took a short course in engine driving at Pickering, Ontario, on the new Canadian National. 'locomotive, number 6120, the largest and most g powerful railway engine in the British. Empire: Mr. Baldwin, when visiting Kingston, Ont, heard that this titan of the steel rails was an all -Canadian product, designed by Canadian National Railway engineers and built at the Kingston shops. Early on Saturday morning No. 6120 was attached to the Royal Train to haul it into Toronto to mark the opening of the new Union Station. Mr; . Baldwin, although busily engaged in the preparation of his speeches, halted in his work to make an inspec- tion of the engine, eventually climbing into the cab with the engineer. He showed the keenest in- terest in the manner in which the big locomotive was handled when travelling at high speed, and worked the various levers controlling the engine. It is a wonderful piece of machinery and should. be a source of pride to the Canadian designers and builders," said the Premier on leaving the loco motive. No, 6120 is one of forty engines of similar type that are being turned' out this season for the ' fast passenger and freight services of the National System. When in regular service they will run 510 miles _without change—the longest locomotive runs in the Dominion, SALEM Mr. Robert Galbraith, of London, here recent - called on friends around ly.
