Inventor proposes electric regain on steep railroad grades
Thomas A. Newbold of Joliet Illinois writes to Grande offices in Denver with a plan to attach a car at the rear of Rio Grande trains to collect and store electricity generated by brakes on down grades. The system aims to turn grade descent into profit, storing power for use at the base of the grade. The Joliet idea centers on a steep 1264 foot fall and about 31 1 2 percent incline near Soldier Summit to Tucker.
