The intial 8 powered cars were equipped with 2 motors each of 25 hp.  They could transport 37 passengers, of which 21 seated, 7 in première classe and 14 in seconde classe (you wonder what the difference was).  Another 11 powered cars arrived at different times, of which some were to replace older ones sold. In addition there were 10 trailer cars, of which 2 were preserved.
