ELECTRICITY ON RAILWAYS.
Enormous Growth of the SYSTEM
Fast Encroaehing on Steam
Traction.

II is now is years since an electric
motor propelled the first street car
through the streets OF Richmond. Va.
AS time passed this motor became the
propelling force of the suburban lines,
then of the interurban and recently
there have been many electric roads
constructed to parallel the steam
lines. The more general use of this
motor is due 20 the fact that the old
15-horsepower motor has been super
seded by motors having from 400 TO
500 horsepower.
The enormous growth of the cleo
trio railways, therefore, has led many
steam railroads to utilize the latest
system and practically every trunk
line railroad company has already be-
gun the installation of electricity on
Its lines, or is making preparations to
do so in the immediate future.
OF the largest steam systems It Is
noteworthy that the New York Cen
trail railroad is equipping its main
line with an electric system to run
trains from the Grand Central depot
in New York city up into the state of
New York as far as Albany. At a re-
cent meeting of the directors It was
decided to issue millions of addition
al stock to be used in extending their
lines in New York by electric roads.
The Pennsylvania railroad has op-
Grated electric trs!ns for some time on
its Long Island division, and this
work Is being extended constantly.
This company is said to have recently
made another contract for the cleo
trical equipment of its line from Phil
adelphia to Atlantic City.
The New York, New Haven G. Hart
ford contracted recently for 80 electric
locomotives to be installed on its line
between New York city and Stamford,
Conn.
The Erie. Grand Trunk, Illinois Cen
trad and other roads are also making
preparations for the introduction of
electricity, and the electric locomotive
may be said to have become a great
propelling agent for railroad trains
The progress made in the propulsion
of cars by electrici s certainly re-
markable and fulHlls the predictions
of the electricians made a dozen years
ago that this system would be adopted
ultimately in whole or in part by the
steam roads. The managers of the
steam roads naturally have been con-
servative and have watched carefully
the development of the electrical sys-
TEN. When the largest railroad sys-
tens in the country, however, which
have been furnishing the finest and
speediest trains ever run in this coun-
try, begin to substitute electricity for
steam as motive power, it is evident
| that no such radical step has been
taken without the closest investiga-
ton and with view to the best
business management.
The electric system is being brought
| forward, therefore, to bring about
| faster travel. The steam roads with
| their accustomed enterprise, do not
hesitate, but are willing to try any
| hing that will suit the great throne
of travellers. Hence about $500, 900 ,00O
has been appropriated by various rail
| road companies in the United States
| to be used in the purchase of electrical
machinery.
