TO ELECTRIFY P. R. R.
NEW YORK DIVISION

Electrifcation of its road from New
York to Newark. and eventually as far as
Trenton. is the plan now being formu-
lated by the Pennsylvania Railroad for
adoption when the Hudson tunnels in New
York are completed. according to re-
rerts in railway circles.
The system to be employed is that Of
the third rail.
The cars Of the tunnel company are said
to have been built with the surface use
in view. and the trains that are to run
over the surface tracks will not differ
from those now in use.
The elecuifying Of the surface subur-
ban tracks of the Pennsylvania is ex-
pected to add materially to the number
o. passengers handled. 1t is also believed
that the proposed plan will greatly cut
the time Of travel between the suburban
POINTS and New York.
