May Use Gasoline Motor Cars On the Gifford Railroad.

Wheatfield Review. Word comes from the C. & W. V, officers that they are going to give gasoline motor cars a test on their line within the next two months. They already have a gasoline motor car ordered for section work, and if it proves satisfactory they will have their section gangs all equipped with them. They are also drawing up plans now for building a motor car that will carry passengers and parcel freight, and if it is a success they will give the people along the line good passenger as well as good freight service.
