Max Schiemann electric road train circa 1903


The train operated in the Biela valley near Dresden, Germany, and utilized a then unique current collection system developed by Schiemann, employing two horizontally parallel overhead wires, later used universally for trolleybuses. These vehicles could pull 3 to 4 wagons and travel at speeds of 6 to 30 km/h depending on load and terrain.
