Travelers along the New Haven line welcome the return to electric service as intended to extend to Boston. Electric traction reduces smoke and cinders, though lightning and storms cause occasional delays. Commuters, while frustrated by holds ups during meals, accept the electric system as a vast improvement over steam.

The motors still falter in storms but remain preferable to the old fire driven locomotives.
