A. H. Armstrong of General Electric argues full railway electrification would have saved about 122.5 million tons of coal in 1918, with 10 million kW sufficient to run all rails and one third the cost of steam. He cites 42 electric locomotives replacing 4412 steam on a major line and notes potential returns from $12 million invested.
