BRIDGEPORT. June 16.——-The New
Haven road has been operating new-
type- multiple unit cars on two trains
of its lines between New Haven. New
York and this city since Monday as
an experiment. Engineers of the road
who have operated these electric
trains freely predict a great success
for them. They usher in. it is said. a
new era in train transportation.
The multiple unit cars of the new
type eliminate the steam engine. the
electric motor- engines and fireman la-
bor. proving a powerful factor for
economy. One hundred and fifty of
the new cars are at the Harlem River
terminal of the road. it is reports—I3 by
roadmen.
With the new cars the train is driv-
en like the subway train with the cf:-
ception that an overhead trolley takes
the place or the third rail. The road
has been evperimenting with this tvpe
of car with indifferent success since
the electrification of its lines in 1910.
The trouble encountered was That on
long runs the motorgof‘the ca'rs over-
heated. burning out. In the new cars
a mtmrleer is installed which keeps
the motor cool. A “dew-man" throttle
automatically stops the train when
the. condufitor's hand is removed.
The mode of operation is one. multi-
ple unit car to one ordinarv rlwenvz'er
or other unit, The new cars are en-
tirely or steel. One fault has thus far
been found with the ne'w'car by local
cornmuters. They are equipped with
but one lavatory. ' .
