Electricity Near for Express Train

GAectrAc1ty NeaT tuS G4P1esS AAaAA' New York Special.
 It was learned today that the contract for the electrical equipment of the New York Central suburban lines and termi- nals means that within five years no pas senger trains on the New York Cent al and New Haven lines will be hauled by steam locomotives within a rad us of fifty miles from the Grand Central station; that within a reasonable period of time express trains will be run to Albany by electricity, and that the general ad ,pta- will be brought within the range of pos abilities and proba bility.
 The suburbs of westdlfester County ~iii be brought nearer the city by running through trains via the @ evated and the Putnam division of the New York Gen. tral and the New Rochelle branch of the New Haven line and for tfis purpose the electrical equipment will be so arranged as to permit an easy interchange of tTaf- flo without change of cars by these va rtous lines. Similar arrangement in, all probability will be made with the Inter- borough Rapid Transit Company. .al- though for this purpose 1t will be neces- saPy for the New York Central and the New Haven lines. to order an entirely new passenger equipment. the tunnel of the subway road having only a clearance of 13.7 feet. which is not high enough to per- init the passage of the so-ca.led standard coaches. # '.s% r
 Through as we'll as suburban trains will be hauled by electric locomotives f, f,om these points: Croton, Pocantico Hills, Yonkers, White Plains and New Rochelle. The electricity will be conveyed to the locomotives by a protected third rail. al- though the locomotives will be fitted so the overhead trolley system may be ap- piled at any time.
