"X" ENGINES
FIRST IN COMMISSION
The first of the thirty "X" locomotives being built at the Lower Hutt workshops for heavy duty passenger tram work in the North Island was run into "Wellington this morning and was inspected by members of the Railways Board. Passers-by were struck by the impressive dimensions of the new engine and equally so by the quite handsome lines of the design. The "X" locomotive, as was stated in an article in "The Post" recently, is almost wholly a New Zealand job, for only a very few special parts were imported.
