Retype of text under picture:

Railroad officials have been experimenting with a new railroad car. It is specially designed for climbing grades. The first trail run developed good climbing ability over over stiff-grades and a speed of 40 miles an hour with easee. The vibration and noise of the engine were largely eliminated, and the mechanism of the car work splendidly. Railroad officials believe this car the most perfect one of its kine in existence.

It appears as a test McKeen car was tested before the Ann Arbor 5 were purchased.
