Hey Steve, there is only the slightest bit of info and no pics. It gives the mileage as 10 and that the 1916 official guide states there were two round trips operated by rail car. Sorry. Other Kentucky short lines like the Frankfort & Cincinnati fair a little better.?

I just wanted to let everyone know about an interesting book that has a very small TAG mention. It is one of a trilogy of rail motorcar books by a man named Edmund Keilty. I have one of the others which is "Interurban Without Wires". This book is more of a history of the various motorcar producers. I don't have the book he did about doodlebugs and motorcars run by class one railroads. At any rate, I now have a copy of "The Shortline Doodlebug" which is all about shortline passenger motorcars used all across the USA. TAG is listed in the section about Alabama and there is a picture of TAG Scooter #500 sitting in the Alton Park yard. There is only a roster for TAG and no other real info there but if you have an interest in shortline passenger motorcars etc. this is a worthy book to add to your collection.?
