Abstract
A note in Zheleznodorozhnoe delo [Rail Business] journal published in 1911 offered to its readers news about first feasibility study commissioned to build self-propelled cars or, in modern terms, railcars. It was supposed that several models with different engines (including electrical one) will be tested. Despite long discussions about economic efficiency of such vehicles as compared with ordinary multi-coach trains, one could witness rational declarations about their suitability for suburban and city transportation on the routes with smaller passenger turnover.
