The application of the electrical mo.of
to New York elevated railways will make
q great change in the running OF the cars
upon them. The Mail and Express sets
forth the advantages to accrue as follows !;
.1st. There will be none of the noises
caused by the locomotives. Trains Will
move almost without noise-wIth 30 little
noise that it will not be audible from the
surface of the street. I'd. OF course the
smoke and cinders of locomotives will no
longer exist 3d. The ability of the, at
present, overcrowded and overworked ell
eyated railways to carry passengers Will
be indefinitely increased because as each
car is supplied with its own motor, trains
can be heightened and shortened accord
ing to the demand. and the delays and
trouble of switching will be done away
with altogether. In fact. within sixty
DAYS New Workers will enjoy the perfec-
ton of rapid transit, and in their streets
will be seen the latest and best results OF
electrical science and invention"
