PUBLIC SERVICE
TRYING TW0-CAR
TRAIN" SYSTEM

In operating a two-car train on
the trolley line between Exchange
place. Jersey City, and Bayonne, Cen
eral Manager Danforth, of the Public
Service Railway, is conducting an ex-
pertinent which he hopes will result in
improved service On various routes
where the traffic is heavy.
II the scheme works out. the COM
pany can utilize ONT of it's small cars
on trunk lines by coupling them to
gether without interfering with h
operation of the larger n higher
powered vehicles. Under single car
operation this would not be feasible,
as the two-motor cars cannot develop
power enough to maintain a schedule
with four-motor cars on the same line
The intention is to use the "trains'
with, or instead of, the larger cars
Mr.. Danforth has recently inspected
the operation of street car lines In
Western cities as far as the Pacific
coast. He found the train system
in vogue in several places. and as 1t
seemed to work successfully, decided to
give it a try-out.
The Public Service, like other street
railway companies in large cities. has
a number of small cars which, while
they have years of usefulness left In
them, have been outgrown for trunk
line service, SO to speak, by the devel-
opment of traffic. These smaller cars
are too valuable to be scrapped.
