An adequate treatment of power plant design and equipment, and of line and track construction complete the discussion of the essential features of an electrical railway. This is followed by a brief discussion of the electrion of steam roads, including such well-known systems as the New Haven and Hartford, the New York Central, the Pennsylvania, and the Grand Trunk--Adapted from introduction, page [10].
