This locomotive, one of twenty-eight recently built by the Vulcan Foundry Ltd. for the Indian State Railways, is designed for heavy passenger service. Fourteen of the engines are for the East Indian Railway, five for the Eastern Bengal Ry., and nine for the Great Indian Peninsula Ry. They have been constructed to designs formulated by the special Locomotive Standards Committee of the Government of India Railway Board as standard for all the railways under their supervision, in collaboration with Messrs. Rendel, Palmer & Tritton, the consulting engineers in London
These engines are classed XB with a limit of 17 tons axle load
No less than seventy-three broad gauge locomotives for the Indian State Rys. are being supplied by the Vulcan Foundry Ltd., to the new standard specifications. Twenty-eight of these are of XB class, as illustrated ; six are classed XA, 4-6-2 type, for branch traffic, with 12.5 tons maximum axle load; twelve are XC class, heavy, with 19.5 tons axle load. The remaining twenty-seven engines are of the 2-8-2 type—thirteen light locomotives, class XD, with 17 tons axle load and fourteen XE class, heavy, with 22.5 tons axle load

One of two prototype aircraft for the Boenig YC-14 project. A proposed replacement for the C-130, it nver got past the prototype stage.

June 1977.
The McDonnell Douglas YC-15 was a four-engine short take-off and landing (STOL) tactical transport. It was McDonnell Douglas' entrant into the United States Air Force's Advanced Medium STOL Transport (AMST) competition to replace the Lockheed C-130 Hercules as the USAF's standard STOL tactical transport. In the end, neither the YC-15 nor the Boeing YC-14 was ordered into production, although the YC-15's basic design would be used to form the successful C-17 Globemaster III.
The Boeing YC-14 was a twin-engine short take-off and landing (STOL) tactical military transport aircraft. It was Boeing's entrant into the United States Air Force's Advanced Medium STOL Transport (AMST) competition, which aimed to replace the Lockheed C-130 Hercules as the USAF's standard STOL tactical transport. Although both the YC-14 and the competing McDonnell Douglas YC-15 were successful, neither aircraft entered production. The AMST project was ended in 1979 and replaced by the C-X program
