The so-called "Ruard train." which is already being used for carrying farm products on the roads near Boulogue, consists of a series of six-wheeled trucks running behind but not drawn by a gasoli se, eteam or oil locomotor," each vehicle being self-propelled through its center pair of wheels. The power is transmitted to those wheels from the engine of the locomotor through a differential gear and a system of flexible couplings. A special advantage is that the locomotora can be made powerful but light, requiring nó extra weight for adhesion, and the train can be ran over bridges muek too weak to sustain traction engines of the ordinary tsps.
