  • Abstract
    THE PURPOSE of this paper is to indicate and clarify the status of the American railroad as a major factor in the generation and use of power, the extent to which steam-railroad electrification has become an element therein, the effect of electric-power costs on the extension of railroad electrification, and the desirable features of power contracts in connection with such electrification.
