Automobiles Replace Locomotives in Early Rail Experiments
The London Times reports pioneering work on autonomous mobile carriages running on standard rails. The vehicle replaces the locomotive with a 56 foot carriage, traction gear upfront, and space for passengers and baggage. It uses a large petroleum-fueled engine, with steam produced internally to power wheels. The system aims for high speed on lines like Rag Ib 404 France and routes from Paris to Nice, projecting five-hour travel on long journeys without frequent water stops.
