Railroad Electrification Inevitable

COMMITTEE 13, RAILWAY ELECTRIFICATION, of the Electrical Section of the Association of American Railroads, has recommended that the United States adopt the 25-kv, 60-cycle system of electrification as a standard for heavily traveled main lines of the country's railroads. The committee is made up of electrical engineers from the railroads and related industries and utilities. It is desirous of acquainting the American Institute of Electrical Engineers of its problems and aspirations, and of securing the assistance of this great organization in reaching its major objective: the revival of electrification of railroads in North America.
