To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Eoyal or North Baltimore, and no man in North Baltimore thinks of going to Mt. Eoyal Station in order to come to his business. The result of it is a beautiful station with ex- pensive grounds, maintained at a considerable overhead and operating cost by the railroad and playing an absolutely negligible ' part in the transportation system of the City. The development of modern methods of power transmission, and particularly the growth of electrification on great lines of steam railways, leaves pr...obably few well informed engineers in doubt that the expensive, wasteful burning of valuable fuel in locomotive engines under forced draft, with consequent excessive smoke, is doomed, and that in a com- paratively short time we shall see all our trains, where the traffic is sufficiently dense to warrant the incurring of the initial cost, operated by electricity or some other substitute for steam. Baltimore can prob- ably secure the electrification of its present yards as a concession in return for what the Pennsylvania is now asking, but if we accept this as a con- sideration we shall probably be giving to the Pennsylvania all that it needs for years to come in exchange for something which we are sure to receive anyhow.
