Milton J. Foreman, William An Evans Electrification of Railway Terminals

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. This point being duly weighed, resolves itself into two sub-questions (c) Is electric operation physically feasible? (b) Are the financial situations such as to make it feasible? The major portion Of our study has been on the fourth of these questions, and especially on division (a) thereof. This, in turn, divides itself into three questions: suburban passenger, through passenger, and freight business. The advantage from handling the first of these by electricity is generally conceded. The second is probably proven. Most of our study is on the third Of these, relatively the greatest nuisance of the three, and the one to which least thought has been given.
