Experiments on the Miller Line at Sestroretsk
- When
- 1875
- Where
- Miller's line
Pirotsky experimented on the Sestroretsk railway Miller's line in 1875, the only passage-supported year; the legacy 1873 date remains a likely placeholder.
In 1875, Fyodor Pirotsky conducted experiments on the Sestroretsk railway Miller's line, near the station Miller's pier. Electricity was transferred over a distance of approximately one kilometer to power an electric motor, with rails connected to a Gramme generator; both rails were isolated from the ground, one serving as a direct conductor and one as a reverse conductor. The passages do not specify the vehicle type used, so the tram characterization is not asserted for this event.
