HIGH RAILROAD SPEED.
About Fifty Miles an Hour the Limit
of Practical Working.
From the St. Louis Globe Democrat.

From the st. Louis Globe Democrat.
"High Speed on Railroads." was the
subject on which e. A. Hermann adj
dressed the Engiueers' club at their rooms
in the Odd Fellows building last evening.
In beginning Mr.. Hermann stated that
the ideal speed on railroads of the pros
cnt day was fifty miles an hour. If it
were only a question of motive power
higher speed could be accomplished, but
grades and curve were difficulties not
easily overcome, and it was likely that
the speed of trains would not be greatly
increased for some time to come.
Though it is a fact" said the speaker,
CHAT the Empire State express on the
New York Central railroad made the rate
of 1872 miles per hour for the distance of
one mile, and in many cases trains have
made seventy and eighty miles an hour,
yet this speed could not have been kept
up on account of grades and street cross
ings and stoppages "
The highest average number of miles
(5090 made per hour is by the New York
Central and Hudson River railroad, while
the lowest average, 2716 miles per hour,
is made by the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe road Therailroad Companies
care more for their freight than passenger
traffic, and this fact alone would tend to
prevent trains from running at much
greater speed than they do now.
