[SEL] Old trolly car engine

[Charles R Bryant]

The narrow guage railroad that operated between Farmington ,Kingfield
and Rangely, Maine in the early 1900's had two type busses/trolley cars that 
they operated just for passengers (just guessing 25 to 35 passenger) They 
were locally manufactured and had automotive gasoline engines. They were 
scrapped
out in the late 30's. Joe Kelley's son Joey has more information on these.
 One of the early type railroad work cars had a a model "T" engine which
one of the ILL-MO club members had  (now deceased).
