| L. orb,
menting with a new motor car, the
car making test trip last week from
Chicago to Quincy and return. 1t is
the intention to use this type on a
number of the branch lines, it is re-
ported. The motor car is destined to
fill long felt want on those branch
lines where the business perhaps does
not warrant the use of an engine and
string of cars. The motor is fast, and
economical to operate, and its use
generally will be adopted on the west
ern branch lines, according to the pre-
dictions of railroad men.
