1917 White railbus


Whippanong may sound like an Australian place name, but this is an exhibit at the Whippany Railway Museum in New Jersey, a 45-horsepower unit that could travel at 35 mph (57 km/h), carry 22 passengers and featured such "luxuries" as leather upholstered seats, interior lighting, heat, drop-sash crystal glass windows and passenger stop signal buttons.  More on the museum's website
