To Adopt Electricity.

It is reported that plans are under consideration by the Boston and Maine railway for the elimination of coal and oil-burning locomotives in the Hoosac tunnel in Massachusetts. Should the change be made, a power plant will be established near South Adams, the tunnel will be lighted and ventilated by means of electricity, and only electrical engines will be used to draw the trains through the tunnel.
