Substantial savings expected to result from replacement of steam service by electric on 28 miles of double-track route (Perth Amboy and East Shore divisions of Staten Island Rapid Transit Railway). Multiple-unit cars operated at 600 volts d.c. supplied by third rail; track has been entirely reconstructed and modern signals installed.
