Examples

“The old North Eastern Railway, which was a pioneer in so many directions, obtained powers in 1905 for mechanical road operation, and shortly afterwards began to operate both steam wagons and petrol-driven buses. The steam wagons were used on country cartage services, but presumably they proved too expensive, and they were replaced by petrol-driven vehicles.”
