Shows that probable density of traffic in ton-miles on main railway arteries is so great that cost of energy, including all capital charges, will not be prohibitive, also that cost of electric locomotives will not be a capital charge, and that when reductions in cost of locomotive operation and maintenance (due to simple construction of electric locomotive) are taken into account, total cost of locomotive operation is substantially less for electricity than for steam.
