DAWN OF THE ELECTRICAL ERA
IN RAILROADING
The All-Steel “Olympian” and “Columbian” Trains Now
Operated Electrically Over the Rocky Mountains
Progress has no age. Onward is ever the slogan of railway construction, operation and efficiency. In this forward
movement electricity challenges the supremacy of steam, and on the Scroll of time the year 1916 marks thedawnof the electrical era in
railroading—and the accomplishment of a definite step to conserve the world’s energies. It is particularly fitting that the “Milwaukee,"
which since its inception has been identified with great pioneering achievements, should have been able to carry through to definite
accomplishment the dream and aspirations of engineers and scientist* by the electrification of 440 miles of its main line through a region
demanding the utmost of energy and efficiency in locomotives __—
440 Miles of Mein Line Electrified
The electrified district is that of the Great Continental
Divide, extending from Avery, Idaho, to Harlowton.
Mont., a distance of 440 miles. (115 miles, from Deer
Lodge to Three Forks, now in operation.)
World’s Mightiest Locomotive*
The electric locomotives which pull "The Olympian"
and “The Columbian" over the mountain divisions are
the most powerful built. They are 112 feet long and
weigh 284 tons. They require no coal or water, run
at an even speed, are thoroughly dependable in all
temperatures, take the heaviest grades with compara
tive ease, are smokeless and dustless.
Power from Mountain Streams
The power used to operate the electric locomotives is
obtained from mountain waterfalls instead of from
coal—marking a definite step to conserve the world's
resources. This power in 100,000 volts alternating
current, is delivered to the 14 sub-stations of the rail
way and there transformed to 3,000 volts direct—the
current used by the locomotives. This is the highest
voltage direct current adapted for railway work iu the
world. MagenaratiT* Braking
One of the scientific marvels is regenerative braking,
by which the train on down grades, instead of con
suming electricity, actually produces it while travel
ing onward, and by which at the same time, the speed
of the train is kept under perfect control.
This is the first use of direct current regenerative
braking. It provides maximum safety, eliminates
wheel, brakeshoe and track wear and overheating,
insures a uniform speed and recovers from 25% to
529, yf power.
More Efficient Operation
With electrification has come more efficient and
economical operation; a better maintenance of sched
ules; the practical elimination of delays due to
weather conditions; smoother riding caused by
greater evenness of speed; enhanced comfort due to
greater cleanliness, and a pronounced improvement
of the view from car window and observation plat
form, owing to freedom from smoke and cinders.
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway
The advantages of electrification, added to the superb equipment and luxurious appointments of “The Olympian" and “The
Columbian,” the renowned personal service of the employees, the splendid physical condition of the road and the extent and
variety of the scenery makes the “Milwaukee” more than ever the road of efficiency, comfort and charm. Remember this
fact when planning your next trip to the East. Booklet giving complete information free on request.
