GasoLINE-ELEcTRIc CARS.

If the new system of gasoline-elec-
trio locomotives. ;rith which the South
ern Railway is experimenting, proves
successful, the entire methods OF rail
road operation in the United States,
and possibly in the world, may be
revolutionized. Beginning yesterday.
two steam trains running between
Washington and Leesburg, have been
replaced by large cars, which are run
by electricity, generated within the
cars by gasoline engines. One tram
leaves Leesburg at 500 O'Clock IN
the morning, and the other leaves
Washington at 6:25 o'clock IN the
evening. For some tine the new cars
will be used only in the place OF local
trains, but they will travel as last as
express trains. In each car there is
a gasoline motor that runs dynamo
generating electricity, which is con-
Quoted to motors placed on the axles
OF the cars. The motors develop 100
horsepower, and can propel the cars
ut the rate OF sixty miles an hour.
A car seats sixty passengers and IS
fifty.fiye feet long They can be put
into service on any steam railroad
line, az they require no current wires
to supply power. While the cars are
being run as units at present rather
than in trains, they have the power
20 haul one or two trailers.
