It now looks as if the steam locomo- tive has practically reached it's limit, says writer in the Cosmopolitan, and the progressive railroad man, in look ing to the future, has before him the question of elecrifying his service as the state of the art and other conditions permit For short haul, heavy service, with frequent units, electricity has, be- yond doubt, numerous advantages over steam. Not only is it no more costly in operation. but it obviates cinders, smoke and gas, which are so objection able to passengers, and it permits the frequent trains. 1t also affords quick CT acceleration and stopping, both of which for suburban service, with ire quent stations, tendtto better time than can be made with steam locomotives. These various advantages propagate traffic, as the public then rides freely and often. and suburban communities grow and swell the traffic of the com pany, both passenger and freight. There is still another important advan- 'tage in. the use of electricity over steam in the freedom with which the air rights of valuable railroad property in the congested centers of large cities can be used for buildings This feature adds millions of dollars to the assets of the company owning lands that are thus susceptible to development.
