Electrification Debate Spurs Two Mile Test Proposal
The Rapid Transit Commission debate in New York centers on electricity as the sole motive power for a tunnel. Frank J. Sprague proposes a two mile test on Second Avenue and related lines using six elevated cars and a pilot locomotive to prove performance under high speed and braking conditions. The plan includes cost and time safeguards. The piece also notes an electric yacht Electron on the Hudson, a large electric locomotive in use at Lonsdale Mills, and Harvard College plans for an on campus electric light installation expected before fall term.
