DANBURY’ LINE ELECTRIC WORK IS COMPLETED “Juice” to Be Turned On Sunday Morning And Tests Will Be Made TRAIN SERVICE Entire Line Will Be Running Electrically Some Time Next Week Electrification of the twenty-three miles of the Dunbury Branch. be- tween Norwalk and Danbury has been completed. according to an an- nouncement today at the offices of the New York. New Haven and Hartford Railroad Company. and the “Juice'- will he turned on for the first time at 12:01 a. m. Sunday. June 14. This does not mean. however. that passenger trains will begin opera- tion under electric power at that time. as four or live days will be consumed in exhaustive tests to make certain that everything is in ship shape order. The operation of the Danbury Branch electrically will avoid the necrssity of changing ncginos at South Norwalk. and will afford pa- 'trons in this section of Connecticut the same service now enjoyed on tho main line of the New York Division. The New Haven llnilroud also ex- pects to secure substantial ccono— mics through the more effective util- Dizatlon of electric locomotives. and the release of steam locomotives for use on other parts of the system. The electrification of the Danbury Branch makes the New York Divi- sion practically one hundred per cent. under clcctric operation. The work w s authorized by the board of direc ors last August. was begun immediately. and has been pushed through the winter months in an effort to be ready for operation this slimmer. In the construction it was neces- sary to use 750 steel poles which. with fittings. weigh approximately 1.400.000 lbs.: 650.000 feet of steel. phono and copper wire: 14.000 steel hanger rods: 85.000 bolts and simi- lar fastenings. and transformers of 6.00 KW capacity.
