To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
' The St. Paul line is 90 miles shorter than the Northern Pacific between Spokane and Seattle; and the St. Paul crossing of the Cascade Range is electrically operated. The out- standing weakness of electrification is the constant overhead and wastage, with oiily occasional utilization of power, depending upon the density of traffic. Traffifc den- sity, in other words, is imperative for the full realization of the economies of elec- trical transmission; and unified operation of these two roads i...nvites just such concen- tration. Furthermore the two lines supplement one another as to feeders. This also appears from inspection of the map 17-A. The Northern Pacific -is amply pro- vided with branches at the western end, just where the St. Paul is notoriously weak. And, conversely, the wealth of branches throughout the territory northwest of Chi- cago admirably supplements the Northern Pacific in reaching traffic-originating territory. All these considerations, of economical operation, conservation of invest- ment for future use, and grouping as to branches and feeders, commend this union.
