THE OMAHA DAIL INTIE FIELD OF ELECTRICITY | fteady Advanos of Trolley Lines Into the Domais of the Lecomotive, LINES IN OPERATION AND PROJECTED y Competition Loeal TeaMe o Wo- nopolized by Steam Roada— the merly Passenger Carrent No The steady progress of trolley lines in covering the fleld of local passenger traffic formerly monopolized by steam roads is be- ginning to attract the attention of in- vesters in railroad securities. The United States Investor of recont date reviews the | situation, declaring that Wall street oper ators are closely watching “electrical road construction in eities and suburbs and won- dering If the credit side of the account of several systems will show as big a surplus | a few years hence as at present.”” The de- velopment of trolley lines designed to meet | the demand for frequent service between cities and suburbs is a matter of general knowledge, but the extension of such lines beyond municipal boundaries is much more | marked in the crowded east than in the | weat. What has been done and what is | projected s detailed by the Investor as | follows: The fact Is that such a boom In | the extension of the trolley lines is fn ! progress that it has become a serious men- ace to what s generally called trafic. New Haven & Hartford, the Philadelphia & Reading, the Baltimore & Ohio and even some of the Vanderbilt lines and the Penn- | itselt have already been affected | to a certain extent, und will be consid erably more so. In the case of the New York, New Haven & Hartford the siate of affairs 18 very interesting. Here Is a line which has had almost an absolute monopoly sylvania of the local business between the metropolis | Connecticut, | It has | and the principal towns in Rhode Island and Massachusetts furnished the only means of transportation east and west by rail through one of the | most thickly settled portions of the United | States and it Is unnecessary to refer to the enormous earnings which it has enjoyed. | Slowly but surely, however, the trolley sys- tem has gone into the territory and at present a gap of but a few miles remains in a chaln of such roads between New York | Companies formed within the | and Boston. last few months will probably close these &aps within the next year. Extending out of Boston the electric lines have gone further and further, until the passenger can travel not ten or fifteen miles, but fifty or sixty miles If he desires. In the sound country such towns as Bridgeport, New Ha- | ven, Norwalk and Greenwich are connected | in the same manner, while the railroad bullders are moving steadily northeast from | Manhattan island Lending Steam Ronds el From Long Branch, on the Jersey coast, the electrical bullders have gone south- west beyond Asbury park, taking in every town of consequence reached by the Penn- sylvania an¢ the Reading roads, and the plans now under way will complete the system to Atlantic City, crossing the sev- eral inlets by a series of steam ferries. Within the last two years an electric line has been bullt from Atlantlc City to Longport and a new route has been com- pleted to Cape May. With the Asbury Park systemns connected another chain of trolley lines will parallel both of the sys- tems rcferred to. The situation between Philadelphia and Washington Is also very Interesting to the student of rallroad prog- re! Companies have actually been formed to carry out plans which will bridge the 225 miles of distance between titese citles, and already a good start has been made. One can board & trolley car at Philadelphia and not leave It until he reaches Wilmington, Del., thirty miles south. Another line operates from Wilmington, south to New- ark, Del. A company has been formed of local capitalists ‘to build from this point to the Susquehanna river, where It will meet an electric road which reaches from Baltimore to Belalr and Havre de Grace, a distance of thirty-five miles. Several years g0 the Baltimore & Washington Boulevard Electric company was formed of Baltimore and Washington partles, but through the influence of the Pennsylvania and the Bai- timore & Ohlo companies, this scheme was abandoned for the time belng, after the road had been graded half way to Baltimore and the ralls lald to a distance of ten miles east of Washington. From Baltimore to Ellicott City, a ten-mile branch of the local rallway system is in operation and but twenty miles are required to link the two eltly Several banking firms In Cleveland, 0., have tormed a syndicate to carry out this project, including a branch to Annapo- 1is, Md., and it Is understood that contracts will probably be let within the next three monthe, Further south the cities of Richmond and Petersburg, Va., will also be connect- ed by trolley within a few weeks, the line unning parallel to the Seaboard Air line, Atlantic Coast line and the Norfolk & Between Fort Worth and Dal- las, Texas. a distance of thirty-two mil another electric llue will soon be in opera- tion. But the activity of the trolley builders has been most pronounced, perhaps, in New York state, where literally a network of electric lines is being extended as far east as Syracuse and west to Lake Erie. The road between Buffalo and Niagara Falls, operated by the power of the cataract, 18 well known. The parties interested in this | lne are now promoting another from Buf- falo to Rochester, a distance of sixty-elght mil while the Rochester Rallway com- pany, which has recently extended its lines to Sodus on Lake Ontario, a distance of thirty-two miles, has planned another to Canandalgua and Penn Yan through the heart of one of the most prosperous sec- tions of the state. Syracuse and Buffalo parties are interested in a plan to promote the connection of Syracuse with Rochester with the (dea that it will eventually be a u ‘Western portion of a through route from Syracuse | to Buffalo. Neaily every one of these lines runs within five or six miles of the New York Central and West Shore systems, both Vanderbilt properties. An Ohlo syndicate has plapned a scheme to connect Buffalo and Clevoland with a 100-mile rond on which cars will be operated at (he rate of ffty miles an hour. Ecomemy of Overation, The above are only a few of the projects which are not only under consideration, but are being carrled out, and, as already stated, are In direct competition to steam roads. One does not have to go far to find the ons for the millions of money which are being invested in these enterpriss The economy in operating a single motor car or a train of two or three, over five or six cars hauled by a steam locomotive, is apparent. In the first place, they can be stopped and started much more quickly apd with far less oxpense. With the elec- trical equipment now provided a speed of sixty miles au hour can be malntained without diffculty and with safety, the only requirement being a well-ballasted roadbed 1ald with heavy ralls and cars large enough to remain on the track. As a rule, however | The great expense of gr local | Such systems as the New York, | [ While it comparative cheapuess with which a road- bed for a trolley line can be constructed ing & steam road to a Jow level through a hilly country is one of the problems which engineers have to contend with. As the average electric motor can propel a car up a grade twice s steep as would “stall” a steam locomo- tive, the former road can be butlt uphill and downhili and consequently In much straighter lines than the others, n many instances the engineer finds that it Is necessary to make an extensive curve in order to avold a costly cut or more ex- pensive tunnel While a trolley train of two or three cars requires only the conductor and motorman, passenger train service on a steam road re- quires the engineer and firemen, beside: | the conductor and at least one, if not two, expenses of less than trainmen, consequently the electrical road operations are balf that upon its rival. These are some of the facts which bave set rallroad experts to thinking and espe- clully th.s: who are watch ng the pro pects of returns from rallroad s c.ri.| Ab ex amination of the reports of many of the 58 tems mentioned would show a surprisingly large percentage of revenue from what might be called town-to-town trafic. the sale of tickets between villages ravgiug trom ten to thirty miles apart Stops are only made at places of sev ral bundred population and these are only served by what are termed local or ac- commodaticn trains, as i wou'd be ab-urd 1o attempt to stop the fast express trains where time I8 such an object In the case of the trolley car, however, but a small de- lay ensues in making stops, even &. crss- rouds and it is cnly natuial that the farm.r. for Insiunce, who s dolug business in th» city and can boa:d the trol.ey car, reaching a point a mile from his home, w.ll prefer it to the rallway train which lands him at the village five miles away, from which bs must drive to reach his destina:i>n. cannot be expectcd that the electric lines will be formidable compet- itors in trafic between places fifty and 100 miles apart theie 18 Do doubt that they are in many localities gradually bul surely being substituted for the steam lines for local business. Although the mileage bullt within the last two or three years has | been 50 large as to be almost incredible. contract after contract.is being let for (x- tensicns and now roads in all parts cf the country and apparently the promoters of | the many legitimate projects bave no difi- | culty in securing unlimited capital.

The tests of the Wannseebahn show a saving of 0 per cent in operating expenses, as compared with steam, and that the trains attain full speed after ubout two minutes, as against three minutes for steam locomotives. For strateglc reasons electric operation is at a disadvantage, compared with steam opera- tion, as In case of war the service could be interrupted much more easily than when independent units were used. as in the case of steam roads. For this reason electricity Wil not be permitted on trank lnes, though 1t could be employed with advan- tage on city and suburban lines, eodoo Thirteen.
