SILVER PALACE CARs.%
Daily Through Line between Chicag go
and New York.


The Central Transportation Company
through the genius, sagacity and enterprise
of their Superintendent, Josiah Woodruff,
Esq, have recently inaugurated new era
in railroad travelling. Henceforth, the trip
from Chicago to New York, or uice versa,
instead of being tedious or wearisome
journey, becomes pleasure excursion, re-
plete with enjoyments and comforts
This grand enterprise for the benefit of
the travelling public consists IN the running
of palatial cars, built expressly for the pur-
pose, through between Chicago and New
York without change. Three Of these j." sill
yer palace cars have already been brought
Out, and three more are being built, the
whole to constitute q daily line between the
West and East. Those already built are the
pittsburgh, the Allegheny" and the
ALTOONA The latter, however, has as yet
made but one trip, and is now receiving its
" finishing touches" 1t will soon take its
place in the regular tri-weekly line.
The "silver palace car called the
"Pittsburgh" was brought out On the 18th of
March, soon after which it commenced max
ing through trips. weekly, between Chicago
and New York. This arrangement was first
tried as an experiment, but with the firm
belief that it would prove q complete sue
cess. How well such expectations have
been realized, may be inferred from the
fact that the running Of one silver palace
for few months has necessltated the con-
struction of others, and the rapidly increas-
ing popularity of the enterprise with the
travelling public justifes the establishment
of daily through line between New Y rk
Chicago. Early next spring six "silver
palace cars will be completed, and the
daily line permanently established.
Each of the silver palace cars above
mentioned is paragon of beauty, conve-
nience and comfort. The term sssilver pal
ace" is perfectly applicable as every person
who inspects one of them will discover.
1t is hardly in language to convey an ade-
quate idea of the splendor of these travel
ing palaces. They must be seen to be appre-
ciaied, and not only seen, but Travelled in.
Each car is constructed SO as to secure the
greatest degree of comfort to the passenger
during the day ride, and yet is provided
with every convenience as a sleeping car.
The internal arrangements and decorations
are gotten up without regard to expense,
but with view of securing the most per-
feet architectural harmony and the greatest
degree of beauty compatible with strength
and durability.
The route over which these palace cars is
run is composed of the Pittsburgh and Fort
Wayne, Pennsylvania Central and New Jer
sey railroads, the latter forming what is
more generally known as the 50 Allento va
Line.'' The time through from Chicago to
New York is only thirty-six hours, and the
route takes the traveller through some of
the most attractive and picturesque scenery
TO be found on the continent.
