| Why the Electric Railway succeeds.
In a recent article in the Engineer
ing Magazine is told whyA the electric
railway has been such great success.
The electric railway, it says, is to
| perform a service for mankind as no
| table and perhaps ultimately as great
as that rendered by it's steam operated
| precursor. Already it handles the bulk
/ of suburban and shOrt-dstance inter-
urban passenger traffic; it carries
| freight. mail, express, and baggage; it
operates at speeds reaching 60 miles an
| hour; it's cars are operated on time
| schedules and dispatched by telephone
| it's roadbed is often as expensive and
| heavy of construction as that of the
best steam lines: and, what is more
| interesting to the investor it pays
| large dividends. AT the present time
| $1,000, 900, 900 are nominally invested in
| electric roads in the United States and
yearly dividends; 900 employees re-
ceiVe yearly in wages $3.50 900, 900, and
there are 10000 miles of track on
which 10000 cars are run. In 1899 ten
miles of electric road were built for
every mile of steam road constructed
STILL it cannot be said that the electric
| roads have achieved their great sue
| cess in competition. with steam roads.
| They have opened a field of develop
fAl ,I.@A~
| and was not open to steam. The pecu-
| liar advantages of, the electric system.
| of traction are frequent service. fiexi-
| bility convenient location, clean, light
| and airy cars, and low fares. OF these,
| probably the most important are loca-
ton and the ability to maintain fire.
| quent service with small units. BY
| these means electric roads have sue
| ceeded where traffic did not previously
| exist and could not have been produc-
| ed by steam roads.
| The New York Central Railroad has
taken steps to offset the proposed con-.
| struction of an electric railway be-
| tween Rochester and Buffalo. Rates
are to be lowered and additional pas
| senger trains are to be put on by the
| Central Railroad. The trolley line an
| nounced it's purpose of putting in eff
| feet passenger rates a little less than
| one-half of the od-time rates on the
| Central between Rochester and Buffa-
| 10. The New York Central manage
ment has arranged to meet all local
rates made by the trolley line, no mat
ter how low they may be.
