LIGHT RA1LG FOR HARD TRAFFIC.
Germany Sets at Naught an Axiom of
Railroad Engineering Here.
German raiiroad engineers have
surprised the whole engineering world
by disregarding In the new electric
railway in Berlin what has been looked
upon as an axiom of good railroading.
Contrary to modern custom
they have equipped a high-speed electric
railway with light rails, and ties
which in some places are five feet
apart.
The road is now complete and in
operat':;:\ and British and American
engineers are watching it with the
greatest interest to see how long it
will last, confident in their own minds
that very soon there must be a collapse.
If the railroad is running in good
order at the end of several years it
may lead to the reversal of some present
ideas in railroad construction.
American engineers have held that
heavy rails nre a necessity at any
cost, particularly on roads operated
by electric power, and British engi
ticcrs have supported this view, both
in argument and in practice.
"It might be possible to operate
such a road, with very light rolling
stock moving at low speed," says the
Engineering News, "but this road is
to carry electric motor cars weighing
twenty tons and three-car trains
are to run at speeds of thirty miles
an hour at intervals of two and onehalf
to five minutes. If this track
maintains its line and surface under
electric motor car traffic, there must
be something in German conditions
very different from those which obtain
in the United States."
