Abstract of a paper read before the Am. Inst. C. E., by O. T. Crosby, reviewing the experiments made in 1889, on high speed electric cars, and discussing a design for a proposed plant and four mile road for further experiments, also giving calculations as to cost of such a railroad, speed of trains to 125 miles per hour.
