Electric Railway Journal 1921 Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from Electric Railway Journal, Vol. 57: May 7, 1921 One night while a claim agent for an interurban was riding a car he got a stiff scare and a good hunch. On a railroad crossing the wheel left the wire and the car was stalled. A heavy freight, traveling fast, was coming and a smash was narrowly averted. When the claim agent got his breath back he realized what a staggering total might have been charged up to his department. So next morning he told his story and National Trolley Guard was recommended as the remedy. National Trolley Guard is an inverted trough of open wire mesh which stops the wheel when it leaves the wire and furnishes power to carry the car into the clear. Broadway at Theatre Time, The Great tite Way from the Times Square District. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
