               Indianapolis, March 23-The Monon Railroad plans
  to try out for two weeks a new type of railway coach powered
  by two diesel engines built in the front end.
 
              J.W. Barriger, Monon president, said today that
  beginning April 1 the coach will make two daily round trips
  between Bedford and Monon.  It will make stops at
  Bloomington, Greencastle, Crawfordsville and Lafayette.
 
              At Monon it will make connections with trains
  operating between Chicago and Indianapolis.
