 The claim made for this motor car is that it was the first on the McCook Division, not the first on the entire Burlington.  And 1912 was actually a pretty late date for such a first, as many roads began using motorized section cars in the 1905-10 period.

Pretty neat! Says the photo date is 1912, that the contraption used a rubber flat top washing machine motor, and that it worked well and displaced the hand power pump car.
