ELECTRICITY TO REPLACE
STEAM ON NEARBY Line
If Test Made Thursday Is Sue
cessful New Kind of Motive
Power Is To Be Used

What may prove to be the inaugu-
ration of electric motive power on the
Morgantown and Kingwood branch of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad was
a trial run Thursday from M. and K.
Junction to Morgantown of gaso-
electric motor drawing two passenger
coaches in addition to the one in
which the motor is located.
Officials of the Cumberland Division
of the B. & o. were on the try-out
special in addition to officials from
Baltimore and several local employees.
The result of the run will not be
known until after all the officials have
submitted notes of their observations.
The new gaso-electric coach left
Cumberland Wednesday for M. and
K. Junction and remained there over
night for the trip the next morning
to Morgantown.
Under normal conditions the gaso-
electric coach will be capable of hand
ling two railroad cars in addition to
the car in which it is housed. In an
emergency such as holiday traffic the
motor can haul three loaded passen-
ger coaches.
The motor which made the trial
run is only capable of producing
slightly over 800 horsepower, but it
was intimated by railroad officials
that this drawing power could easily
be increased.
If results are satisfactory, the cleo
trio motor coach will be put on the
M. and K. branch permanently.
