From the Kearney Files
Sydney 5th November 1921
THE KEARNEY SYSTEM
In connection with the proposed break of guage to cost fifty - seven millions, the Kearney system is well worth a trial.
Kearney has proved by working models that by putting down a central bottom and top rail on the existing lines, each Kearney carriage will draw one of the present cars on tracks fully loaded without the aid of an engine. That is to say eight or more Kearney cars will draw the same number of the present rolling stock, and as these and the rails wear out they can be replaced on the new system.
If that is so, it will solve the problem, and bring in the new system automatically, and by degrees and save millions.
Why not let Kearney have a trial on any five miles of line, leading from a dead end railway station, and settle once and for all at a small cost whether his scheme is what he claims for it?
