	Lutheran Dummy Trolley
		Dummies were trolley-like cars pulled by steam locomotives, which used coal for fuel.
		If the line had opened a few years earlier, horse cars would have been used, but in 1877 and 1878, the reputation of the steam dummy was at its height, and the adoption of this mode of propulsion was considered the latest and most progressive move possible.
		The dummy took 12 minutes to make the two miles to the cemetery gate and an extra 3 cents was charged.

	Definition of Steam dummy
		A steam dummy or dummy engine, in the United States of America, was a steam engine enclosed in a wooden box structure made to resemble a railroad passenger coach.
		Steam dummies had some popularity in the first decades of railroading in the U.S., from the 1830s but passed from favor after the Civil War.
		Many steam dummies were simply locomotives enclosed in coach's clothing, but some combined an actual railroad coach in the same body with the locomotive, creating an all-in-one vehicle that was a predecessor of later self-propelled rail cars, usually powered by electricity or petrol.
