LIGHTING TRAINS AT NIGHT
Axle-OriVen Unit System Appears &c
Be Most Sensible Device-Car
Made Independent.

When you ride in an up-tO-date rail.
road train at night you invariably no.
tice the electric illumination. Once
in our grandfathers' day-it was pro-
duced by the evil-smclling oil lamp.
Then We had, and still do have 10 some
extent, the gaS-lamp supplied by high
pressure gas tank supported under the
coach. But today We find all the best
railroad passenger coaches equipped
with electric lights.
There are three systems for SeCur-
ing this modern light. The storage way
calls for very large battery on each
car which has To be charged at termi-
nal stations, cause Of no incOnSider-
able delay and bother. Another device
is called the head-end system. where
there is provided a special electric gen
Grating equipment on the engine for
supplying the lighting energy needed
by the cars trailing along behind. This
is cumbersome and so open To other
objections that the plan is seldom
adopted.
What appears to be the most senSi-
bic device is the axle-driven unit SyS-
TEN, which makes each car an indie
pendent unit, goes about its own BUSH
ness, charges its own battery en- route
and is in every way sufficient unto it,
self. The operating department ham
dies cars and trains ObliviouS Of light
ing problems, as it has only To couple
the cars and airhoSe. There are no spe-
cial switching Of cars, no interference
and no delay.
