  Subject: [CBQ] First motor car


    
  We had a brief discussion back in August about the first (possibly first) 
gasoline motor car. I've now found the following piece in an article (American 
Engineer & Railroad Journal Sept. 1905 page 335) about motor cars, discussing 
the different motive power options and costings of motor car operation.

  "The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railway has recently built a 225-h.p. 
gasoline electric motor car designed to haul a trailer for carrying passengers, 
the motor car itself being used for the power equipment, mail and baggage. A 
test of this car was made recently, but as yet we have no figures on the actual 
cost of operation."

  Presuming this to be a reference to the same piece of equipment, it confirms 
that this was railway equipment as opposed to a converted road vehicle. 
Needless to say, if I find any published reports on the test, I'll let you know.
