FISK'S inter-
URBAN ROAD
Details of the Chattanooga
Nashville Line.
FIRST LINE OF KIND
IN ENTIRE SOUTH
Cars To Be Operated Every
Hour Between Sequatchie
and Chattanooga.

According to statement made by
c. H. Fisk, of Detroit, promoter OF the
Nashville Chattanooga electric line, to
the Chattanooga Times, the I o. is
practically assured and will be the first
real interurban electric roal built in
the southern states, south of Kentucky.
There is very little to add, he
said, ''to the information which has
already been published in the Times
concerning the route which the
road will follow between this city and
Nashville. While there has been no
right of way actually purchased, yet |
have received pledges from parties
through whose property the road will
pass assuring me that these can be
obtained whenever am ready to take
them over and the actual work of con-
struction begun.
lone of the things which has been
decided upon since | was here is the
operation of interurban cars every hour
between this city and Sequatchie, and
the city of Nashville and Murfrees-
bOro.
"A resort wilt be built at one of the
numerous springs in the Sequatchie
valley by a company with which |
have been in correspondents, and it
will be made one of the most popular
places in this country. | can't just yet
give out where this will be located on
account of business, but it will be
within easy distance of Chattanooga.
One of the largest engineering COM
panies in the country is now at work
on a final report to be made sometime
within the next sixty or ninety days
showing just what it will cost to build
the road, the grades to be overcome
and the engineering difficulties to be
encountered. The most costly and
practically the only serious obstacle in
our way is the tunnel through Walden S
ridge, but in this day of tunnel build
ing this will not amount to much.
Il can say that the building of the
road will be done by one of the most
famous engineers in the country, whC
are at the head of very large electri
cal engineering concern. The power
will be derived from the plant at Can
ey Forks, near McMinnville, and as
have already stated to you, the ma
chinery and locomotives will be of the
Westinghouse type, single phase, alt
ernating current and capable of hand
iig trains and cars at the rate of 81
miles per hour, which will make the
trip between here and Nashville il
about two and one half hours.
''At Caney Forks we have been en-
gagged in buying lands which will bC
overhowed when the dam for the reser
voir is completed. We have been some
what delayel at this point by litiga
tion with another concern, but thi,
has to all intents and purposes beer
settled in our favor, and can safely
say that within two or three month,
everything will be settled, and the
work of construction on both the rail
road and the power plant commenced
in earnest.

speed. and so arranged to take an in
spection on each section Of the road
as the train swept by.
Chas. M. Schwab gave an interview
IN which lie said that FIVE years ago
lie warned rail making concerns to
prepare for getting out better rail,
that the increasing weight of cars
and of speed would shortly make the
rail then and now made Of no account.
AT this time the Carnegie Steel COM
pany, according to Mr. Schwab, evol-
we'd an idea of sort Of alloy rail
which would be somewhat more eX-
pensive than the Bessemer or even
the open hearth rails and the rail
roads would not stand the additional
expense.
Mr.. Schwab i'm speaking of the
present rail says: "The head of the
rail is too heavy and the flange too
light and the impurities which cause
the breaking of the top Of the rail are
there, largely i'm the case of the Besse-
mer rail, because the rail has TO be
rolled while hot. The heavy top is
largely responsible for this necessity.
The superiority of the open hearth
rail will remain, however, even if a
different shape of rail is adopted by
the Bessemer mills.
1T is not TO the open hearth rail,
however. that the railroads must look
for final solution of the problem.
Its general use will be of some help,
but the railroads are too important a
part of our country's wealth and hu-
man life is far too valuable for either
railroads or the people to be content
with anything short of the best, and
that is to be found in nickel or some
other steel which will cost largely in
excess of the prices which are now
paid.
ga few nickel steel rails made by
the United States Steel corporation,
when l was with it, are, l believe,
still giving good service on the main
line of the Pennsylvania railroad.
They were not made under the best
possible conditions, as the mills were
not equipped for their production.
Such rails are almost certain to be
called for by the railroads in the near
future and the steel mills will then,
of course, put out the best it is pos
Sible to make"
