A test on Murray Street by the Automobile Club of America under Gen Roy Stone shows rails reduce starting and moving forces. Starting power on rails averages 240 pounds vs 600 pounds on pavement, with moving force about 160 pounds on rails and 190 pounds average after rolling. The test suggests 60 percent less force needed on rails, equating to 37.5 percent energy saved on stone blocks. Further tests planned, including on Sundays, with autos and other vehicles.
