Electricity VS.. Steam.

Working under conditions which
formed the III st severe test to which
their plans could have been subjected,
the men who work out the motive
problems OF a great railway system
have completed one OF the most re-
markable chapters In the history Of
transcontlnenta transportation,
And the caption on that chapter, set
out In the boldest type, is: "Electr
dcatIon."
BY highly successful operation OF
electric locomotives over part Of the
mountain division Of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul road, through
out a winter whose severity made
steam traffic almost an impossibility.
engineers declare they have proved
beyond doubt the efficacy of the
latest step In the evolution of the
first locomotive.
From every economical angle the
new engines were tested. In speed
they were found to excel the old
power; uphill they could handle a
greater load: in cost the figures OF
operation were reduced; no matter
what the weather, the motors were
always on the job; in the comfort
which comes from cleanliness and
smooth running, they approached
perfection. W..
But from G. A. Goodnow, assistant
to the president Of the st. Paul sys-
TEN, comes the greatest praise for the
electric engines. He watched closely
the operation OF the giant motors
during the severest cold spells Of the
winter, and from him have come
many interesting facts regarding the
electrlfication PROJECT. He states
that Identification in every way has
exceeded the expectations Of the
roads officials This Is true particular.
", In regard TO the amount OF tonnage
the electric engines can handle, the
mileage they can make and the
regularity OF operation.
The maximum load will he 3,00O
tons over the mountains In Montana,
3,400 tons between Deer Lodge and
the Rocky mountains. aud 4,500 tons
between the Bitter Root mountains
and Deer Lodge, This haul will be
made with one engine except over the
mountains where helper is used.
The mileage made each "a hours Is
about 200 miles, as against about ia
miles by steam locomotives; at the
end of run, coal repletion and the
cleaning OF fire boxes is a thing Of the
past. On the division covering the
Rocky mountains there already have
heen released twenty-four steau
engines and the same service is heinz
performed with nine electric engines
locomotives formerly used were
mallets and other heavy types
La computing the comparative cost
OF operation, it is estimated that the
electric locomotives will cost in theiI

a year, or four times as much on the
entire 440 miles over which the new
system is TO be operated,

the memory OF railroaders. There
were times when every steam locomo-

tive in the Rocky mountain district
was frozen, but the electric locomt =
tives went right along.
One day, with the mercury at 40
below, the entire division was threat
ened with a complete tie up. One
steam locomotive hauling a heavy
freight train had frozen and two
others following were halted long
enough to freeze. They were on the
main liue and passenger trains had to
be given the right Of way. The
engineer OF one OF the giant motors
was appealed to. His response was
to run his electric locomotive out on
the line, couple IT onto the three
trains, of three engines and rs cars,
and haul them In.
The electric locomotives also are
wonderful "snow buckers" and do
not offer the resistance o; steam
engines when they are COLI. The cold
weather also proved a thorough test
Of the roads overhead installation
system. With this the engineers had
no trouble whatever.
One OF the most interesting features
OF Identification Is the regenerative
braking. This system so to speak, is
working both ends from the middle"
and has proved great economic
factor In railroadlng.
Regenerative braking is used on
the downhill movement Of trains, and
] each engine becomes power plant In
itself. The weight of the train pushes
the locomotive and by reversing the
current the locomotives become gen.
orators. That. in effect, controls the
speed of the train and sends back by
the trolley power to help other trains
climbing the grades. II there are 40
other trains to use the power, 1t goes
back TO the nearest substation, turns
the meters back and automatically
gives the company credit for unused
current. 1t has been found that
trains descending the Rocky noun
tains have sent back enough power so
that the average saving by the regen-
erative process has been $3.50 train.
Maximum safety at any speed also is
assured.
In practice an electric locomotive
takes the place of four ordinary steam
locomotives. An electric engine costs
500, 900 as compared with the cost
OF from $ll5, 900 to $l20, 900 for -four
steam locomotives. The electric loco
motive handles its full tonnage at 8
to l6 miles an hour, while a steam
locomotive handles its load at from {
to 10 miles an hour. Naturally there
Is great Ideal less labor involved
The repairs on electric engines, so fan
as can be predicted now, will cost
only half as much as on steam loco
motives. There is much advantage
to passengers also ia the elimination
of smoke, dust and gases; the riding
Is much smoother, the starting of the
train Is accomplished without any
jarrIng TO the passenger, and the &C
CELEBRATION is extremely rapid, anC
maximum speed Is attained very
quickly
