  • Abstract
    A survey of world-wide trends in electric traction over the past decade shows the United States lagging in electrification projects and emphasizing the use of diesel power. More attention is urged for these projects in view of the greater abundance of hydroelectric power, coal, and possibly nuclear power as compared with oil.
