line, and on the Harlem division south
of White Plains. This study also nee
essarily included the handling, in a
similar manner, of the through and
Suburban service Of the New York,
New Haven and Hartford Railroad
south Of the point of junction at Wood
lawn.
After the commission had settled
upon scope Of territory to be cleo
trified and had decided that the Pc
aculiar conditions In the neighborhood
pf New York justified the adoption Of
Krect current as preferable to alter
mating current, contracts were awarded
Cor the larger portion Of structures and
equipment. One of the first appliances
ready is the most, powerful electric
locomotive in the world, which has
just been completed for the New York
Central and Hudson River Railroad
In the shops of the General Electric
Company and the American Locomo-
dive Works at Schenectady, n. Y.
This locomotive is one Of between
thirty and fifty which will be used for
hauling the through passenger trains
within its Electrical Zone from Grand
Central Station through the Park Ave
nue. tunnel to Croton on the main line,
a distance of thirty four miles, and to
White Plains on the Harlem division,
y distance of twenty-four miles.
3 This will be the heaviest steam rail-
way passenger service which has eser
been handled by electric locomotives.
With one Of these locomotives trains Of
zen4or more cars will be hauled at ex-
press speed Of SIXTY 10 seventy miles
per hour, and the design and method
of control are such that two or more
locomotives can be coupled together
mud operated by single engineer from
the leading cab, so that the size OF the
train that may be under the control Of
one engineer Is practically unlimited
so far as the question of motive power.
In general design the locomotive is
double ended and symmetrical in CON
struction, so that it can be run In either
direction with equal facility. The loco
motive has four driving axIes, and
The Morris County chronicle. [volume] (Morristown, N.J.) 1877-1915, 1904-12-27

also especially accessible for inspec,
ton and cleaning.
Mounted on the main frame is the
steel cab in three divisions, in which
are located the various devices for
operating the locomotive. The locomo-
tive is equipped for both straight and
automatic air braking, signaling de-
vices, bell, whistle headlights, air-send-
ing device, electric air compressor, etc,
being as complete in every way with
respect to operating devices as a steam
locomotive.
For purpose Of testing This locomo-
tive, six miles of the New York Central
track between Schenectady and Hoff-
mans has been equipped with a third
rail. The track is practically straight
and bailasted to permit maximum
speeds of seventy to eighty miles per
hour being attained
The question of size and exact char
acter of the suburban cars has not yet
been settled, but from these proposed
improvements thus briefly outlined, the
railroad company anticipates marked
increase in the comfort and safety of
its passengers, and consequently a de-
cided increase in suburban business.
Property abutting on the railroad will
naturally increase in desirability as a
result Of the withdrawal of the annoy
ances unavoidable in The operation OF
the steam passenger locomotive The
beautiful territory along the Hudson
and Bronx Rivers and Long Island
Sound, under these favorable condi-
tons will grow rapidly in popularity
Tor hUmeseeKers, to tIe mutual advan-
tage Of the railroad company and OF
the public.
What is also Of great Importance, the
adoption Of electricity, makes possible
the future reclamation of between
thirty and forty acres of overhead
space in the territory occupied by the
terminal yard in the heart Of the city
of New York. which, instead OF being
left open as required with steam opera
ton, may be utilized by the company
for superimposed structures in any
manner best suited for its purpose.
