GROWTH OF

ELECTRIC

RAILWAYS

Some New Trends In Germany

MAIN LINES CONVERTED

The first electric railway ever built was that of Werner Siemens. the celebrated German engineer, At that time. however, there was [no general demand for it, except in the big cities of the United States. At a later date, when the density of street traffic in- creased in other countries also, electric `street-cars » became the standard means of passenger transportation in all the more im portant towns of the globe; and although in recent years motor vehicles have captured a consider- able part of their custom, their use has extended in other direc-* itions.

Since about 1920, suitable sec- tions of the network of main rail- road lines have been electrified to an ever-increasing extent in most European countries. The demands on the electric cars here concern- ed are. naturally, much greater than those made on the average street-car. In order to reduce as much as possible the loss of cur- -Trent, high-voltage alternating cur- rent is preferred by the majority of railroad administrations.
