Gas engine cars may supplant steam locomotives in passenger service
A Schenectady report notes Prussia's plan to replace steam with automobile cars as more economical. A General Electric gas electric car test reached 60 mph with a 150 horsepower gas engine, seating 44 in a 31 ton body. Gasoline cost is high, but savings on hauling and stoking could prove economical. One operator may run each unit, reducing crew needs. the move could blur lines between railway and suburban trolley service, though rapid trolley phaseout seems unlikely.
