Gasoline locomotive eyed to speed Chicago suburbs rail travel
An experimental gasoline powered two car train coach aims to run at 60 to 70 mph on the Chicago and Great Western line from Chicago to Dalewin. John J. Wells supervised the test, claiming room for seventy four passengers, and officials will test the machine before standard equipment approval. Meanwhile Chicago schools face seat shortages next Tuesday with 26,000 lacking seats. Mortensen suggests shifts, portable rooms, or reusing every room to ease crowding, noting bonds and portable schools are costly and impractical long term.
