Abstract
THE railroad appurtenances chiefly affected by the storms were: tracks, bridges, passenger and freight station buildings, signals, electric power generating, transmission, and distribution facilities, communication lines, and miscellaneous motors, such as shop, pump, floatbridge and track-switch motors, and drawbridge motors and control circuits. Various types of buildings, boats of all sizes, including a large lighthouse tender which required 17 days to remove, and other debris of all kinds deposited on the tracks, contributed relatively minor but still important problems in restoration of service. Busy passenger stations, such as that at Providence, R. I., and at New London, Conn., having been inundated, were without lights for a time. The railroad organizations thus lacked nothing of variety in re-establishing service.
