It reduces the running time for passenger trains one hour and for freight trains three hours, while the distance is cut down by nearly eight miles. Expect Big Savings The entire cost of this project— tunnel, electrification and all—is $25,000,000. The tunnel itself was bored at a cost of $14,000,000. This ©5207 Py NEA SeRVICe, INC.

The new tunnel is more than 500 feet below the old one, which was a little over two and a half miles long. ig With an easter climb to & lower height than heretofore was "neces: sary, the journey is made more pleas- ant by the electrification of the line. For 75 miles huge electric locomotives take the passenger and freight trains over the new route and through the tunnel. These locomotives mark a new era in electrification of railway lines, for they incorporate two inno- vations in their operation. ~ First is their conversion into travel: ing electric sub-stations, where 11,- 000 volts of alternating current picked up from the overhead lines is con- verted into low voltage direct current for train operation. New Brake System Second is the regenerative system of electric braking by which a single locomotive can hold back a long freight train to two miles an hour without the use of the air brakes. In addition this -regenerative To substantiate his theory, Dr. Simpson points to the vast beds of lignite coal which now underlie the state in great quantities.
