E W Pratt Chicago assistant superintendent told the Master Mechanics section of the Railway Congress that complete substitution of electricity for steam power is a distant prospect.

Trains from the North and West run on schedule, with storms and a landslide near Lock Haven affecting service. The Pennsylvanian Railroad veterans held an outing in New York City.
