To ground is unusually low while the rail resist ance is very high, being 1 times that of solid rail for this weight. In other Words, the average resistance of each j oint is equal to that of 470 feet of rail. For _a considerable per cent of the distance only one rail was carrying any current, and it also undoubtedly had frequent high-resistance joints.

Download or read book Stray Currents from Electric Railways Classic Reprint written by Carl Michalke and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-07-27 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stray Currents From Electric Railways BY suitable insulation it is always possible to so protect a conductor of electricity that no perceptible leakage to the surrounding medium can take place, even though this medium be a good conductor. However, if it is impossible to so insulate the conductor from the surrounding medium the latter will take part in carrying the current. This is the case when rails are used for the return circuit. A part of the current branches off into the earth, returning again to the rails at certain fixed points. These currents are called stray currents. These stray currents also occur, though to a lesser extent, in three-wire systems with a bare middle conductor, and many times to a greater extent in cables which have bad faults. Faults in cables generally produce only local disturb auces, which in most cases are easily located and quickly remedied. The stray currents in a three-wire system with a bare middle wire may be kept so small, by balancing the loads in such a way as to give a proper current distribution, that no harm can result from them. For this reason in the following discussion the stray currents in electric railway systems will be particularly considered.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Electric Railway Engineering Wen TY years ago the Electric Railway existed only in the imagination of the electrician. Today it is a reality. What twenty years more will bring forth in this direction remains to be seen. Two systems are now in operation, the trolley and the storage battery. The trolley, being the most successful, is the one in gen eral use. In the trolley system the electrical circuit consists of. Two parts, the overhead and the ground circuit. In distributing the current, the rails are grounded and form one Side of the circuit. If they have a good electrical connection from one to the other through fish-plates already in position, they form a path of very low resistance. Where such connections are poor, the rails are reinforced by a continuous conductor running the entire length of the line. The other part of the circuit consists partly of a hard-drawn silicon bronze or Copper contact-wire of small size, but great tensile strength, which is suspended I 7 to 18 feet above the track. (a diagram of the circuit is Shown in Fig I.) This contact-wire is termed the working-conductor, and is carried over the centre of the track, at the height named, on insulators sup ported by span-wires running across from pole to pole and provided with additional insulators at their ends, or else by brackets which extend from poles placed on the side or centre of the street. The size of this wire is independent Of the number of cars operated, or the distance over which the line extends.

Later in this pa r I' will indicate the manner in which electricity may sooner or ater realize the best and brightest promises made on behalf of the trans-continental steam railroad, but our first thought is as to electrical travel within towns and cities, and the manner in which it affects social relations, by modifying as with the harlequin wand of transformation all the conditions to which we have heretofore been subjected.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes on Electric Railway Economics: And Preliminary Engineering Some time prior to the delivery of these lectures a series of hearings was held by the Railroad Commissioners of New York State to consider the application of the New York and Port Chester Railroad Company for a charter, and during this hearing the practicability from both an engineering and com mercial standpoint of interurban high-speed electric railways was fully demonstrated. Although the New York and Port Chester Railroad is not yet in operation, I used considerable of the engineering and other data placed in evidence at this hearing, as well as much other data worked up in developing and demonstrating the commercial and engineering details of of the New York and Port Chester Railroad in the Lehigh University lectures, and have also employed some of the same data in this book. Neither the lectures, or this book, were or are given as a treatise or exhaustive treatment of the subject as a whole, or of the details as indicated in the chapter headings. The lectures were intended to point the way, and embody some of the results of twelve years of practice and application. This book is presented with the same object in View.

That company, for instance, came out of receivership with much the same myriad of separate companies that went in, but that company, continuing the plan of eliminating subsidiary corporations where practicable, closed out or merged last year with other subsidiaries sixteen companies. Moreover, the process of retiring bonds is being kept up unremittingly. Dur ing 1925 sinking fund retirements totaled bond retirements and total redemptions Doubtless there are other similar instances, but this one comes to mind in connection with the work of digesting the report of the company for publication in a recent issue of the journal. It will not do to dismiss the matter by saying that Pittsburgh is now operating under an agreement that insures to it favorable terms for financing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Electric Railway Journal, Vol. 57: May 7, 1921 One night while a claim agent for an interurban was riding a car he got a stiff scare and a good hunch. On a railroad crossing the wheel left the wire and the car was stalled. A heavy freight, traveling fast, was coming and a smash was narrowly averted. When the claim agent got his breath back he realized what a staggering total might have been charged up to his department. So next morning he told his story and National Trolley Guard was recommended as the remedy. National Trolley Guard is an inverted trough of open wire mesh which stops the wheel when it leaves the wire and furnishes power to carry the car into the clear.
