One of the latest big undertakings in
electric railrOading is that of the
Chicago New York Electric Air Line
to carry nothing but passengers be-
tween two big cities in ten hours, eth
er way, and at cost of $40. The line
is $50 miles long, and is without
curve between Chicago and New Y ork
city. The route is 100 miles shorter
than any route traversed by railroads
between the cities named. Trains
over the new road are to run at the
maximum speed of 100 miles an hour
and to average seventy-tive miles an
hour for the entire run. Trains will
run every hour from the two cities
over q double track.
