Conceding the efficacy of thesteam locomotive for much of the worlds service therestill remains a very large mileage which could be ad-vantageously electrified. In the execution of thisgreat undertaking we have many engineering eco-nomic problems, the solution of which demands thecordial co-operation of all who are engaged in thefurtherance of railway transportation.
