Main Line in Near Future; Rapid Strides in Work special to The Telegraph Philadelphia, Sept. 9. An auto matic signal system from New York to Pittsburgh and the electrification of a part of the main line are two big improvements Pennsylvania Rail road officials are watching closely. The new signal system will be ready for inspection in a few days. Work on the electric line Is progressing rapidly. As far ns Overbrook, working In, the construction gangs have set up poles and signal bridges, and It will require only a short time before wires will be strung. The work originally began near Wayne and St. David's and the workmen have been coming toward Philadelphia. Prom what travelers can see the electrification work is a unique bit of modern engineering. Poles are set up about seventy-five yards apart. There is a double system of suspension, crosswise and length wise. The crosswise suspension con sists of an upper, slightly curved wire from pole to pole, from which is sus pended the straight wire between the poles. There are two wires running above the track, the upper wire being used to support the lower or main overhead wire. The electrification work Itself has naturally introduced numerous prob lems, some of them very complicated, especially as they might affect the continuous operation of trains. One Interesting detail is that a com plete system for policing the railroad has been worked out, so that thou sands of dollars' worth of contractor's tools and material have been thor oughly safeguarded. This required a considerable force, in addition to the regular railroad detectives. Another interesting fact is that only one tnan has been killed or hurt. He was killed because he did not hear an ap proaching express train. Railway Experts Discuss Problems Special to The Telegraph Atlantic City. N. J., Sept. ».—Rail way problems of far-reaching import ance, affecting every rail corporation in the country, are to be discussed and remedies formulated by commit tees of the American Association at the American Railway Association at the Hotel Chalfonte.
