"And that’s where our story begins because, frankly, nobody could care less about a walkway… In 1907, the Russell Building was completed and work was begun on the tunnel connecting it to the senate. The following year, the government ordered two custom-built people-haulers from the Studebaker Brothers Manufacturing Company. This was a wise move because Studebaker, the only carriage company to successfully transfer to automobile manufacturing, were the biggest proponents of electric car manufacturing of their era. Since the “underground railroad,” as the route would become known, was indoors, electric was the only way to safely propel a vehicle. John Studebaker called gasoline-based cars, “clumsy, noisy, dangerous brutes (that) stink to high heaven, break down at the worst possible moment and are a public nuisance” (which they were back then)."
