THE ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT OF THE DETROIT RIVERTUNNEL—I. The tunnel whicli has been constructed under the DetroitRiver to connect the tracks of the Michigan Central Railroad inthe United States with those in Canada has now been in con-tinuous operation for some months for the use of both pas-senger and freight trains. The electrical equipment of this capacity of each boat was 18 freight cars, so that three andoften four ferry boats were required for many of the involved many delays. Again, in winter a very consider-able amount of time was lost owing to the presence of heavyice in the river. Under the new conditions a train of any prac-tical length and weight can be hauled through the tunnel in lessthan 6 minutes. The scheme of improvements at Detroit comprises the con-struction of two new depots for the Michigan Central Railway,. Sump No. 3 ! Profile on East Bound 1 In. = 2000 Ft. :- yer l = 200 ft.
