Automotive equipment

The CPR's self-propelled cars were listed under Passenger Car Equipment as Automotive Equipment.
Eight were built by EMC with 400 hp gas engines which they kept until retired (except 9006) unlike most railways.
One car (9002) was a storage battery car that was converted into a non-powered trailer. 9006 was re-engined in 1935
with a Harland-Wolff 6 cylinder 600 hp diesel pre-dating diesel unit 7000 usually thought of as the first CPR diesel.
