Disposition of The Red Devils
The very successful lightweight 1929 Cincinnati Car Company "Red Devil" cars were sold. Six went to the Cedar Rapids and Iowa City Railway (CRANDIC) and thirteen to the Lehigh Valley Transit (LVT) interurban lines. They successfully operated as CRANDIC trippers between the capitol at Iowa City to Cedar Rapids and as Liberty Bell Limiteds between Allentown and Philadelphia into the 1950s. They had an operational life of twenty five years. (See Bibliography and Wikipedia Links related to these two interurban railroads.) The design mated aluminum sheeting onto a steel frame. This resulted in "dissimilar metals electrolysis" erosion that had to be dealt with during their life. In some cases the aluminum sheets were replaced with steel.

“Heroism—that is the disposition of a man who aspires to a goal compared to which he himself is wholly insignificant. Heroism is the good will to self-destruction.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“That good disposition which boasts of being most tender is often stifled by the least urging of self-interest.”

“One will meet, for example, the virtual assumption that what is relative to thought cannot be real. But why not, exactly? Red is relative to sight, but the fact that this or that is in that relation to vision that we call being red is not itself relative to sight; it is a real fact.”
—Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)
“O sinewy silver biplane, nudging the wind’s withers!
There, from Kill Devils Hill at Kitty Hawk
Two brothers in their twinship left the dune;
Warping the gale, the Wright wind wrestlers veered
Capeward, then blading the wind’s flank, banked and spun.”
—Hart Crane (1899–1932)
