Comparisons of cost and performance between high voltage d-c and a-c systems; substations and overhead contact line; communications; cost and performance of locomotives and rolling stock; most economic system for electrification may be estimated from traffic density, or, in electrical terms, linear density of annual energy consumption; calculations covering capital costs and annual operating costs are required before making final decision.
