TROLLEY CARS IN ROME.
NOW They Are Equipped 70 Mount th
Hllls Of the Eternal City.

NOW They Are Equipped 70 Mount the
Hiils Of the Eternal City.
The Eternal city, Rome Of Caesar,
Rome of Peter" has been invaded
again, this time by the trolley car.
The road connects the main railway
station with the center Of the city.
1t starts from the Piazza S. Silvestro
and goes up the Vic di Capo de- Case
and then through the Ludovisian quar-
ter to the Piazzi di Termini. It is q
double track and il nearly two miles
long.
The power station is located on the
slope of the Sabine hills, and the cleo
tricity is generated from turbines
placed in the waterfalls about Is miles
out Of the city. Power is conveyed
to the city by four large cables that
run into . transformer house near the
Porta Pla. The cars, like all rolling
stock on European trolley lines, are
model vehicles. They are flooded with
light at night, and instead of signaling
the conductor when one wants the car
to stop, all he has to do is to press .
button on the seat behind him.
Some of the hills on the line are 30
steep that special brakes are neces-
sary. Both hand and foot brakes are
used, one acting on the wheels directly
and the other on the rails. In addition
there is an electric emergency brake,
which will stop the car in = few yards,
even when going quickly down hill.
The principle of it consists in shoit-
c;rcuiting the motors. which are then
driven as dynamos by the momentum
Of the car, which is thus rapidly
stopped.
An American company strung the
overhead wires and equipped the cara
