    1893: General Herman Haupt of Pennsylvania and others are convinced that air powered trolleys are the only way to go for metropolitan transit. Air trolleys are used in many cities around the world. Haupt was a civil engineer and ran Lincoln’s railroads during the war between the states. He complains that no one will listen to new ideas, but that people prefer to operate from assumptions and refuse to educate themselves on the real possibilities. Haupt published a book, Street Railway Motors, in which he reveals some of the secrets of compressed air and compares it to the alternatives.
