Electric Rallroadine Freak

If you have never seen trolley
wheel welded to the overhead wire
you have missed one of the interesting
freaks of electric ralroading, accord
ing to man whose business takes
him on frequent suburban and inter-
urban trips, the New York Sun
states.
Il heard some trainmen on an up
state road discussing Il case of weld
ing" said this traveller. They told
me that the wheel and wire became
solidly fused into one piece.
"At first / was skeptical but fur
ther inquiries showed me that the
happening is not unheard of. 1t Is
especially likely to take place with
a heavily loaded freight train creep
ing up steep grade. The use Of
current is so greatly emphasized that
the wheel and wire become exceed
ingly hot. Should the car stop un-
der these conditions the welding may
take place quickly. AT times the
melting and fusing are so complete
that the starting of the train will drag
down the overhead wires and stop
traffic"

From 1872 to 1923 Is a span of Ill
years, but there are many who can
reach back farther than that. Scores
of men now living In Philadelphia have
talked with those who saw and spoke
