Discussion on “from steam to electricity on a single-track road.” Atlantic city, N. J., July 1, 1908

J. B. Whitehead: This paper was suggested by some of the questions arising in undertaking to change a 30-mile, single-track road from steam to electricity. It is understood, of course, that every project of this nature must be considered in the light of the particular conditions involved, so that it is rather to the methods which have been followed in the present case than to the actual results and values which were finally adopted, that I ask attention.
