DECIDEDLY PLEASING RESULTS or TIL
b. h o. s NEW MOVE,
The change in policy on the Baltimore
& Ohio Road has been attended by re-
suits which cannot but tend To still great
er progression. The inauguration of the
fast train contest was grand move, as
it proved the old road to be the model
fast line Of the country. Rival lines at.
tempted for a time to compete, but some
how or other one after another fell back
ID their old ruts, and the B. Il o. still
flies the proud banner, ''Seven Hours
Ahead. The increase of its passenger
traffic has been great, it not being by any
means an uncommon thing to run its
regular trains In two sections. Extra
sleepers have been added, and where
once dining halls were scant of consum-
ers and proyender alike there are now
numerous partakers and plenty at once
delicious and stomach satisfying. The
Improvement In the eating stations has
been no more marked than in all branch
es of passenger accommodation. Very
many new coaches have been added to
the equipment, bright and luxuriously APP
pointed vehicles of rail travelling, and the
satisfaction they produce is worth mill
ions to the Company. Ton upon ton of
new steel rail has been laid, and this
good work still goes brayely on, though
1t take all summer and into the fall
There is no room for improvement in the
motive power of the road, the Il. Il ..
having for years been noted as building
and running the finest locomotives in the
world. Not long since an engine of the
Chicago Division ran ninety three miles
in ninety eight minutes, and this, too,
without any special preparation. The
monster new transfer boat taking the
New York trains of the Baltimore q Ohio
across the bay at Baltimore has proved
most unequivocal success, doing away,
as it does, with the old transfer through
the streets or by tunnel under the city.
