Show Electric Express Locomotives I I The idea of running express trains on trunk lines by electricity is not confined to this country M Bonneau engineer of the Paris Lyons Mediterranian railway has published a striking paper on the future application of current to the traction of heavy express trains M Bonueau considers consid-ers that it would be a comparatively easy matter to build an express locomotive which would perform the journey between Pars and Marseilles in nine hours or a little more than half the time consumed by the present fast trains He is in favor ot generating tbe current in stations placed at suitable distances along the line and conducting it to the locomotive thrdugh the rails America will soon have some very practical information on this subject I which M Bonneau may find It In his advantage ad-vantage to utilize in tbe construction of his proposed line Experiments are now I icing conducted in this country which promise within the next year very remarkable remark-able developments in this field |
