[Vol. XIV. No. 335 



in results of any electrically equipped road ; it having at its power- 

 station but one 30-horse-power generator, which operates eight 

 cars over grades running as high as 10 per cent without indications 

 of overheating, and frequently tow-cars are used with those equipped 

 with motors. On one branch of the system the necessity of 

 speedy equipment compelled the use of a No. 2 copper wire with- 

 out feeders, such wire being the only available material ; yet, with 

 this small conductor, the cars are run at a rate of six miles per 

 hour up a lo-per-cent grade, three miles distant from the station. 



The Omaha and Council Bluffs Railway and Bridge Company 

 are progressing rapidly with the electrical equipment of the re- 

 cently purchased horse-car lines in Council Bluffs. For the opera- 

 tion of such lines they have purchased ten additional motor-trucks 

 and two generators from the Thomson-Houston Electric Company. 

 In placing this order for additional apparatus, the management of 

 the road state, in a letter to the Thomson-Houston Company, that 



they consider their present line equipped with the Thomson-Hous- 

 ton system the most perfect electric railway in the world. 



The Omaha Motor Railway Company is nearly ready to begin 

 operations with the Thomson- Houston electric system. The 

 largest power-station which has yet been constructed for electric- 

 railway operation is owned by this company, and the car-equip- 

 ment ranks second in quantity among electric railways yet con- 

 structed, it having twenty-six motor-cars, each of which will be used 

 to tow at least one additional car, and many of the motor-cars will 

 tow two additional cars. The success of the Thomson-Houston 

 system on the Omaha and Council Bluffs line has made the citizens 

 of Omaha jubilant at the immediate prospect of such rapid transit 

 being given them over their entire city. In addition to the equip- 

 ment ready to be put in, the company intends to add twenty ad- 

 ditional motor-cars upon the extensions to its system within a few 

 months.
