1884 Frank L. Sprague. whose name
Is inseparably connected with electric
traction. began TO attract attention
with his motors.
Twenty Years CT Achievement
At the beginning OF 1887 there were
In the whole world less than sixty
miles OF electric railroad track, and
only about one hundred motors and
motor ears. lin 1905 there were nearly
thirty thousand miles of electric track
In the Unitc1 States alone.
This change was not accomplished
without opposition. encouragement
and financial difficulties. Mr.. Sprague
hin self. who was so potent n factor in
working this change. has told the story
o hi-,1rst important contract. In the
spring OF 1887. the Union Passenger
Railway company OF Richmond, Va,
engaged him to build an electric rail-
way. The first car was run out one
night while the skeptical people slept,
to make sure it could climb the hills.
1t started out in blaze OF glory and
ignominiously was towed back again
by four big mules. But Sprague per-
sisted until on Feb. 2, 1883, in 4
driZzling rain, the road opened for
business.
From that time forward the future
OF electric railroading was assured and
events moved rapidly. City after city
adopted the new motive power; horse
cars became things OF the past in
tcrurban roads began to gridiron the
country everywhere. and i'm each in

scored. Electric interurban lines have
been money makers from? the start.

AT any rate, the world seems on
the eve OF great things, and no scien-

OF four miles an hour on the Edin-

by a battery OF one hundred Grove
