Only one Lane Steam Wagon was produced, despite plans to continue manufacture.  The 6-passenger vehicle featured such safety controls as a self-closing throttle.  The Lane was cumbersome at 3,200 lbs., however, and only able to achieve a speed of 15 mph.  It was a dual-purpose machine and could be used for passengers or to carry merchandise.[1]
