S T E A M
RO AD.
la s t six months ago it was that the New York New
Haven & Hartford Railroad Company attracted so
much public interest hv beginning to operate with the
third rail trolley a section of its road running from
Hartford to New Britain, Conn., a distance of 9*3
miles. Subsequently the branch from New Britain to
Berlin, Conn., was added to its third rail system, mak
ing about 12*3 miles so Operated. The experiment was
recognized as of importance not only in its relation to
the future methods of the steam roads, but also in its
possible effects upon the prosperity of the overhead
trolley lines, which in the suburbs of all our large
cities have come into more or less direct competition
with tho old established railroad companies. So pleased
from the outset was President Clark of the New Haven
road with the working of his third rail trolley lines that
he made the remark widely quoted at the tim e :
“ You may tell all persons who are engaged in investing
their own or anybody else'* money in lines competitive
with steam roads that they cannot prosper when the
day comes to lay down third rails in this country.
Our locomotives may go into the scrap heap, as tlic old
stage coaches had to go.”
It is only natural, therefore, in view of the great
results thus anticipated, that one should await quite
eagerly definite information as to the practical out
come of the enterprise. Technical journals have de
scribed with much minuteness the third rail plant,
ingeniously arranged to suit the ideas of President
27.
1897.
Clark and his assistants, and there has been no lack of
statements in the daily press from time to time as to
the successful operation of the same, but only within
a few weeks has the public listened to official utter
ances, comprehensive in form, regarding the results
of the experiment. The recent report of the New
England Railroad Company, however, and more par
ticularly the address at Buffalo of Col. H eft, the
official in charge of the electrical department of the
New Haven road, which controls the New England
Company, have shed much additional light on the un
dertaking.
Our personal understanding of the
methods pursued in connection therewith has more
over been improved bv a trip over the lines.
Besides referring to what is new in the official state
ments, our readers near at home will bear with us. if
for the benefit of the many readers in distant parts we
recite a few facts touching the company’s electrical
plants, which are familiar matters in the neighbor
hood of New York. President Clark, as all "know,
early evinced the liveliest interest in the use of elec
tricity as a motive power. Over fifty per cent of his
company’s earnings being derived from passenger
‘raffic, it behooved him to be thus on the alert to
protect his traffic from trolley competition. Every
one remembers his first ferial with the over-head trolley
on the Nantasket branch, a line ten miles in length,
which in the summer docs a large excursion business
between East Weymouth, Mass., on the Plymouth
division of the Old Colony Rtilroacl and Nantasket,
and Pemberton, Mass., cm the peninsular projecting
into the Atlantic Ocean just across the bay from
Boston.
Colonel H eft tolls us that the over-head system on
this line has not been satisfactory. The heavy cur
rent required in starting the cars and in attaining a
highspeed has constantly destroyed the trolley wheels,
while many trolley-poles have been broken from losing
the wire while making speed and taking curves.
Nevertheless, though these difficulties entailed con
siderable expense, they have not interfered we are
told, with tho continuous and successful operation of
the line. During the past summer nearly three times
as many passengers were carried as in 1895, and on a
regular schedule that would be out of the question
with steam power. The run of ten miles was made

Profiting by its experience with the overhead trolley ever thejpressure falls below ninety pounds, now and

The facts here presented are assuredly encouraging
to the managers of steam roads. W e must re
call, however, the fact that the conditions existing in
and around Hartford are not to he found in the same
favorable degree in all parts of the country. New
England is the ideal spot for the electric road ; Hart
ford is an unusually active center, and has been so all
through the hard tim es; while Hartford’s Capitol
building and H artford shops are attractive features
over a wide district.
Furthermore, if we figure

so that one must be laid for the use of the electric
service, at an expense which within city limits at least
would be in all probabilities a large item, and if in ad
dition the company’s credit be less good so that the
necessary capital must be borrowed at 5 or 6 per cent in
place of 4 per cent per annum, in these circum
stances the new mode of carrying passengers might
readily show no gain at all or even a greater loss than
to allow the trolley roads full possession of the electric
field. The position o ' the different steam roads and
of the same company in different localities clearly
varies widely as to practicability of electric service.
