Excerpt from General Electric Review, Vol. 18: January, 1915-December, 1915 The direct-current railway motor has long been recognized as the most reliable, efficient and flexible means of delivering power to the drivers of a locomotive and now that direct current regenerative braking has become an accomplished fact it makes the high voltage direct-current system most admirably fitted to fulfill all the requirements of general steam railroad electrification. We consider the introduction of electric braking, while still retaining the well tried and proved direct current apparatus, to be a distinct step in the advance of the art.
