Lighting Trains by Electricity.

| To light steam, train, travelling al
nearly sixty miles an hour, with electric
ity, would seem hardly possible, yet it is
being done every day.
Electricity for use on a passenger train
is made right on the train itself Mounted
on top of the huge locomotive boiler is a
small steam turbine engine no larger than
an ordinary train water cooler, taking
steam from the main boiler, which whiris
a small but powerful electric generator
mounted on the same shaft with the mGv-
ing parts of the turbine. This electricity
is carried through the train by concealed
wiring, where it is used for lighting pur-
poses. Sometimes the Curtis train light
ing set, as it is called, is located in one
corner of the baggage car and connected
to the locomotiv boiler by a flexible pipe
The turbine set is so small that it takes
up no more room than large trunk and
requires no attention whatever, once it is
started as it is designed to run auto
matically.
At first electric fighting fer steam roads
was only used on lie largest and fastest
through passenger trains, but now it is
extending to the suburban lines The
Burlington suburban lines out of Chicago
have been equipped with electric lights
for some time. as web as other interurban
steam lines about other large cities.
The greatest argument for electricity in
train lighting is in the case OF wrecks.
With electricity, the instant the train is
wrecked, the lights so out. But with
gas or oil. the lamps continue to burn and
in few minutes the whole train is burn
ing, preventing the work of rescuing the
imprisoned passengers. A train equipped
and piped for gas lighting is exceedingly
dangerous in case of accident, for the
flames have been known to follow the
broken pipes through the train, setting
fire to every coach and even causing
disastrous explosions.
