Evolution of
the Street Car

Three hundred years ago an English
coal miner laid some wooden beams in
the muddy road leading from his col
liery, for the wheels Of his coal carts
to run on the other day a coal mine
owner from the same country boarded
an electric car in New York and made
tour OF the subway. The boards in
the muddy road were the ancestors of
that street car. writes B. II. Wilson.
The little expedient Of the English
miner. which made heavy hauling light,
marked the beginning Of the "tram-
way" the great-grandfather Of the
railway, the thing which made street
cars possible. These wooden beams
served their purpose very we'll until
they began to wear out. Inventive
genius was equal to the occasion; the
wooden beams were plated with iron.
Thin iron bands were fastened to the
top OF the beam to take the wear OF tho
cart wheels. This was all right as far
as the top was concerned but the wood
Ell beams rotted on the bottom so they
made them out Of iron entirely and laid
them on short pieces of wood which
could be cheaply replaced when they
rotted. To keep the wheels OF the coal
carts from running off the rails was
the next problem, and they solved it
by putting tlanges on the outer Sides OF
the rail In 1879 William Jessop, the
father Of the street railway, took the
flanges Off the rails and put them on
the cart wheels and the real evolution
OF the street car began.
