An important feature, moreover, of this distribution of work throughout a long train, and the elimination of the great weight of the locomotive, averaging, lu passenger ami freight service, 150 tons, is the saving made possible in all bridge and trestle work, as the car ot an electric train would mil weigh over as much, or a heavily loaded electric freight car over a much, as a steam locomotive and lender of the same length. Even the electric locomotive, however, has a great advantage over th steam locomotive, tn tbat It tnav be tun a most const autly and is nearly needing no always a double-endefor facing turn-tabl- e or round-housabout at the end of a run; but the electrically operated tailroada of the future will use very few electric locomotives, as the diffusion or tractive effort throughout a long train in which all or a large part of the cars are supplied with motors and the absolute provision which such a system affords for operating trains at any desired speed In as few or as ears as conditions of traffic may prescribe, are two of the most important rcauiis for the substitution of electricity for steam. The New York Cunlral has ordered electric for its New Yura terminal service, and these locomotives, at less than half the weight, will be mors IHiwcrfuI than any steam passenger locomotive ever built and will insure a faster passenger schedule than that now in force, hut they were ordered uniy because the Central Is doing pioneer work and handles, in the 700 trains entering the Grand Central station dally, passenger and freight cars from every part of the United States. It a mu bur bun trains, and the tunnel and suburban trains of the Pennsylvania roads, will be operated on the individual motor car system, and electric locomotives for through trains will no longer be inrvRsary when all or a large part of the freight and York passenger cars entering New shall have been elect rlcgJIy equipped. New York's great electrical terminals will thus of themselves furnish a powerful argument for the early electrical equipment of roads within a radius of several hundred miles. Meanwhile, the use of electric locomotives for hauling heavy freight cars over trolley lines will become more general berth in the United States and iu Kuroie. electric system is The aingie-phas- e to be Installed first on the Indianapolis and Cincinnati Railway, on (he Fort Wavnc, Decatur and Springfield inter-urbaroad, and on tho San Iedro lines in California.
