The Birmingham age-herald., 1922-02-19

Signals are open and the track is clear for the 1922 run of the new type of gasoline rail car shown in the picture above. This car has successfully passed rigid tests con ducted by railroad experts and is now rapidly being adopted by many lead ing railroads throughout the coun try for branch line service.
 Wherever it has been installed, this gasoline propelled car has brought about many marked Improvements in rail passenger service Particularly are these improvements noticeable in the suburban lines of the New York, New Haven and Hartford rail- road, where three such cars, designed by the International Motor, company, are now in regular service.
 According to W. L. Bean, mecha1- ical assistant to President Pearson of the New Haven road. the gasoline rail car embodies many decided ad- vantages when compared with steam or electrified service on branch line runs. For frequent and speedy ser vice at low comparative costs this new car has no equal. Its use also makes possible the elimination of the usual expensive terminal facilities such as coal storage bins, water tanks and ashpits.
 Furthermore, it is said that the running costs are no more than one third of those for operating two car steam train, and railroad men are

enthusiastic in their belief that the gasoline engine will enable them 60 profitably solve their short line proo- lems.
 In appearance, the car resembles the better type of stream-line motor bus, yet it is much larger and is completely equipped with special safety devices and necessary railroad acce ssories. For instance, a four wheel truck under the front assures stability, while the power is direct to the rear wheels by means of the usual motor truck drive shaft. The wheel at the drivers seat is not used for steering but operates emergency brakes in addition to the regular braking system operated by com pressed air. With a special trans mission of four speeds ahead and four in reverse, the car can make an average speed in either direction If between 35 to 40 miles an hour. This speed coupled with the ability of the gasoline engine to accelerate rapidly when starting from q station makes it easy to maintain steam trains schedules even under unfavorable op- erating conditions.
 Railroad experts who have careful ly watched the performance of this new gasoline rail car have pro- claimed 1t a revolutionary addition to railroad equipment that will bene fit both the railroads and the travel ing public"
