great deal of discussion is now going On
among railroad men as to the relative merits OF
electric motors versus steam. The advantage
claimed by the advocates of the electric mo tor
is that trains can be subdivided at any point.
Extra heavy and powerful locomotives are nos
required on gradients. In case of accldent I'M
injured cars can be got out of the way lldlvld-
