That locomotive body on MZKT-7919 chassis is where readers post the comments, "Herkimer Battle Jitney!" "Herkimer Battle Jitney!" and thereby screw up Google searches for the "real thing".





I'm also puzzled by that third tire from the front. Why is it flat and turned at the same angle, no matter where or when the photo is taken?

The streamlined cars are reminiscent of the pre-NASA era rocketship designs.
