ELECTRICITY AS A MOTIVE POWER. 525 In conclusion it may be said, a few years hassufficed to develop insignificant and experimentalelectric roads into completed railway systemswhich fill the streets of cities and towns andsend out radiating lines in every direction intothe surrounding country. A new field of trans-portation has thus been evolved which rapidlyencroaches upon an important branch of generalrailway service. The motor created new con-ditions, and led to new methods. Its possibilities One Hundred Horse-power Railway Motor complete. and limitations are now fairly defined. Its pre-sent field in connection with general railwaybusiness is confined to local traffic over shortdistance
