"December 1921. Behold the one man pushmobile! Capacity of each coach, 4 persons. Speed about 8 or 10 miles an hour. Motive power, one perfectly good Chinese coolie. Length of road, about 10 miles up country. Transports freight and passengers. Train service, any time you go to the station, and get in a car. Frequent switches so trains can pass, a string of 12 cars often passing along and making a train. Left to Right Miss Winn, Miss Johnson, Miss Aston? Background planted rice." A group of American Baptist missionaries sitting in an open cart pushed by one person.
